Preparation method:
Step 1: Making Kitcha (Kitcha is a type of bread)
Mix the flour with the water. Knead the flour with water into a dough that resembles a pancake mix. The dough should be slightly thicker than a pancake mix. Make sure there are no lumps left.
Heat a frying pan and grease it with (olive) oil. Then pour a layer of dough (slightly thicker than a pancake layer) in the pan and fry it on both sides. Make sure the outside is hard and the inside soft. About 2/3 minutes per side.
Do this until the dough is gone. You can make about 4 to 6 kitchas. Depends on the thickness of your Kitcha.
Step 2: Prepare mix
• Tear the kitchas by hand into small pieces about the size of a 2 euro coin.
• Cut the tomato and onion into wedges/strips
• Cut green pepper into pieces
• Prepare Berbere
• Prepare Tesmi
Step 3: Make Kitcha Fit-Fit
• place a pan on medium heat
• Throw the tesmi into the pan and wait until it is completely liquid.
• Once it is liquid, throw the onion in the pan. After about 2 minutes, the onions will start to get some color.
• After 2 minutes, throw in the tomatoes. Stir them with the onion in the pan with Tesmi.
• After 2 minutes, add the Berbere to the pan and stir it with the onion and tomato in the pan.
• After 2 minutes, throw all the Kitcha pieces into the pan and stir everything together.
• Stir until the dough gets the color of the Berbere.
Step 4: Scooping & Toppings
• Preferably scoop the Kitcha into a deep plate
• A layer of Yogurt or Vanilla Yogurt on the side
• Toppings: sprinkle green pepper and feta cheese over your plate.
