Tihlo (Tigrinya:ጥሕሎ) is a dish from the historicalAgame province inTigray that consists ofbarley dough balls covered withmeat andberbere based sauce often served as asnack.[1][2] Tihlo is commonly consumed as a side dish or snack, especially inTigrayan communities.[3]
The barley grain is completely dehulled and milled. Tihlo is made using moistened roasted barley flour that is kneaded to a uniform consistency.[3] The dough is then broken into small balls and laid out around a bowl of spicy meat stew. A two-pronged wooden fork known as aShint’ar (Tigrinya: ሽንጣር) is used to spear the ball and dip it into the stew.[4]
Tihlo is commonly served on cultural holidays.[5]
