Mosh

Mosh is a traditional Ethiopian and Eritrean dish, often served for breakfast. It is a type of porridge made from finely ground oats, barley, or other cereal grains.

It is often eaten with bread or injera, a type of sourdough flatbread common in Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine.

Preparation

The preparation of Mosh begins with the selection of the grain. Oats and barley are the most commonly used, but other grains such as millet or sorghum may also be used.

The Mosh is then sweetened or flavored according to personal preference.
