Dobara is a spicy vegetarian Algerian soup, prepared with chickpeas and broad beans and drizzled with olive oil.[1] Originally from the city of Biskra in Algeria,[2] it is generally consumed in winter in the east of the country, notably in El Oued, Batna, Khenchela, Aïn M'lila, Constantine and Djelfa.[3]

History

Dobara was created prior to the commencement of the Algerian conflict, and it later became the meal of Algerian guerrillas.[4]

Its consumption grew from the Zibans and Aurès area to Batna, then to An M'lila and Constantine, as well as to other Algerian cities.[1]

Variations

There are several types of dobara: hot or cold, and the ingredients might vary depending on the region.
