Kik Alicha.PNG 309.31 KB
Kik Alicha is a comforting and flavorful Ethiopian stew made from yellow split peas simmered with onions, garlic, ginger, and aromatic spices. Unlike many Ethiopian dishes that feature spicy berbere seasoning, Kik Alicha is known for its mild and delicate flavor, making it a popular choice for those who prefer less heat. This traditional dish is a staple of Ethiopia cuisine and is commonly served during fasting periods and family meals. 

The split peas are cooked until tender and creamy, then combined with sautéed onions, garlic, turmeric, and other seasonings. The result is a rich, nourishing stew with a beautiful golden color and a smooth texture. Kik Alicha is often included in vegetarian platters and pairs perfectly with Injera. 

Nutritious, satisfying, and easy to prepare, Kik Alicha is a classic example of Ethiopian comfort food. 

Cooking Method


  1.  Rinse the split peas thoroughly and set aside. 
  2.  Heat oil or niter kibbeh in a large pot over medium heat. 
  3.  Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent. 
  4.  Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 1–2 minutes. 
  5.  Add the turmeric and mix well. 
  6.  Add the split peas and water or broth. 
  7.  Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. 
  8.  Cook for 35–45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas are soft. 
  9.  Add salt and black pepper if desired. 
  10.  Simmer until the stew reaches a creamy consistency and serve hot.
