Dabo Kolo

They will look like flat peanuts, and are served as a snack or with cocktails; and like peanuts, once you start eating them you cannot stop. Traditionally, dabo kolo are favored by travelers because they keep for a long time without spoiling. Dabo Kolo are usually made from wheat flour, but can also be made from tef flour (which is more commonly used to make Ethiopias famous spongy flatbread, injera) or even chickpea flour
