Dabo kolo is an Ethiopian snack with a spicy flavor and crunchy texture, consisting of four, sugar, sat, water, butter, and berberé spices. The word dabo means bread, while kolo refers to roasted barley, which is consumed as a snack, so dabo kolo can be translated as snack bread.

The dough is kneaded into long ropes, cut into smaller pieces, then fried on a hot pan until it browns. Small, spicy, and starchy, dabo kolo is a perfect party food that can even be stored for later use in airtight containers.
