I’m really sorry for the delayed response Scott. I have not had a chance to come here more often. I apologize for not responding sooner. Even though Eritreans and Ethiopians have some similarities, each country/group has its own recipes. I’m not sure if I know exactly what Koror is. But from your description, there is something called “Ligemat” that fits to the description.

You can try the following; it should be berry simple start with very small batch and go from there,
Combine the following in a mixing bowl
1 cup of all purpose flour
1 egg white (optional)
¾ cup of water l
3 table spoon of sugar/ use more or less depending on your desire for sweetness
A pinch of salt
½ tea spoon of backing power

Then mix well with small hand mixer or Wisker well till all ingredients are well blended together and smooth.
Pre-heat oil in a deep frying pan/ deep fryer at mid-high temperature, once the temperature reaches about 375 degrees, scoop mixture with a spoon and drop in to oil.

Fry dough till golden on each side, then put on towel paper to get excess oil out. It should be crispy on the outside fluffy soft in the inside.

Hello John,
You sound familiar with many different ethnic foods, including some of Eritrea/Ethiopian dishes. East Africans have similar recipes, but each country also has its own unique dishes. In addition to Eritrean recipes, I’m also familiar with Ethiopians and Sudanese dishes. Eritreans and Ethiopians cook meat and chicken in a very similar way, which are very spicy and very time consuming, but I believe Eritreans include more vegetables and use less fat on their diets.
Sudanese dishes on the other hand include meat, fish, dry beans, fresh vegetables, olive, cheese, so Sudanese people eat well balanced meal everyday, except they consume little bit more sugar.
Asian foods seem to be less fatty, but they also add too much sodium.
I have lived in the U.S. for most of my life and most people in the U.S don’t include enough vegetables and fruits on their diets.
It sounds each ethic group consumes too little of something and too much of the other. So when we cook our own meals at home, we adjust/change the ingredients to our desire.
