Description

ቡላ

Bulla is a processed starch or dough made from enset (Enset ventricosum), commonly known as the “false banana.” However, it is the root of enset that is consumed, not its fruit. This species is native to Ethiopia and can be found in varying altitudes, soils, and climates.

Bula is made into flour and prepared as a traditional dish Genfo or a hot thick drinkable meal with milk and honey. It is also baked as a flatbread Kotcho and often served with Kitfo (Ethiopian-style steak tartar).
