Bulla is a starchy white powder, harvested in Ethiopia from
the Enset plant. To make it, the stem and leaf sheaths of
the plant are scraped into a pulp. The juice is squeezed
out of this, and the juice is then evaporated down to a
white powder.
This powder can be stored for years. It is rehydrated with
water to make dumplings, porridge, pancakes, or it can be
made into a drink of the same name. It's also used to
prepare Genfo or a hot thick drinkable meal with milk and
honey. It is also baked as a flat bread, Kotcho, and often
served with Kitfo (Ethiopian style steak tartar).
