Kocho (food)

Kocho (Ge'ez: ቆጮ ḳōč̣ō) is a bread-like fermented food made from chopped and grated ensete pulp. It is used as a staple in Ethiopian cuisine in place of enjera. In 1975 more than one-sixth of Ethiopians depended completely or partially on kocho for a substantial part of their food.[1] It is eaten with foods such as kitfo.

Kocho served with sauces
