የምጣዱ እያለ የእንቅቡ ተንጫጫ

Meaning

This proverb illustrates a situation where a minor or secondary issue (the food cover making noise) draws attention or causes a stir while the main or more important matter (food still cooking on the griddle) is not yet settled or completed. It criticizes focusing on trivialities before the significant tasks are done or prematurely celebrating.
