Tegabino

Tegabino is a thick, spiced chickpea flour porridge served hot in a clay pot, typically finished with berbere-spiced clarified butter poured over the top. The texture is dense and starchy, the butter adds a rich fat layer, and the berbere brings moderate heat. The overall profile is warming and filling: closer to a spiced polenta than to a stew, and the pairing logic follows the fat load and spice rather than any protein element.
