Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 24 snack bites
Cuisine: Ethiopian
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour; 2 tablespoons sugar; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon ground cardamom; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves; 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander; 1/2 cup vegetable oil; 1/2 cup water; Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and coriander. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the water to the mixture, a little at a time, and knead the dough until it comes together into a smooth ball. The dough should be firm and not sticky. If the dough is too dry, add a bit more water.
Divide the dough into smaller, walnut-sized balls. Using the palms of your hands, roll each ball into a thin log shape, about 4-5 inches long. Use a fork to create indentations (or any design you prefer) on each piece to help with even frying.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add a few of the dough pieces at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the Dabo Kolo until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally for even cooking. This should take about 2-3 minutes per batch.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried Dabo Kolo from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Allow the Dabo Kolo to cool before serving. These snack bites can be stored in an airtight container once completely cooled for up to a week.
