Chiffa is a traditional North African dish, particularly popular in Algeria and Tunisia. It consists of a mixture of semolina, spices, and often includes meat or vegetables. The dish is typically steamed in a special pot called a couscoussier, which allows the semolina to absorb flavors from the ingredients. The preparation of Chiffa involves soaking the semolina in water, then steaming it multiple times to achieve a fluffy texture. It is often served with a sauce made from tomatoes, peppers, and spices, enhancing its flavor. Chiffa is commonly enjoyed during family gatherings and celebrations.
