Page "Ethiopian cuisine" Paragraph 20

Gurage cuisine additionally makes use of the false banana plant ( enset, Ge ' ez: እንሰት inset ), a type of ensete.

The plant is pulverized and fermented to make a bread-like food called qocho or kocho ( Ge ' ez: ቆጮ ḳōč ̣ ō ), which is eaten with kitfo.

The root of this plant may be powdered and prepared as a hot drink called bulla ( Ge ' ez: ቡላ būlā ), which is often given to those who are tired or ill. Another typical Gurage preparation is coffee with butter ( kebbeh ).
