Himbasha (Ge'ez: ሕምባሻ; var. Ambasha, አምባሻ)[1] is an Ethiopian and Eritrean celebration bread[2] that is slightly sweet. It is often served at special occasions. It is prepared in a number of varieties, however the most distinctive flavoring is ground cardamom seeds.
The dough is given a decorative touch before baking. The design varies in detail, but in general is given the shape of a wheel with indentations to create several spokes (see picture).
Common additions to the recipe include (candied) ginger or raisins, although plain varieties are common also.
