  • Cuisine: Ethiopian

Ingredients

3/4 cup Teff flour (found in health food shops)
substitute with plain flour
3-1/2 cups water
salt - pinch

Preparation

Mix teff with the water then leave to stand in a covered bowl over a couple of days until it starts to bubble.

The mixture should be slightly sour and the consistency of crepe batter.
Stir in the salt. Add a ladle of the mixture to a pre heated skillet and cook
slowly until air bubbles rise to the top.

Do not let it brown, and make sure that it is not too thick.

NOTE: It will probably take a couple of turns at this to perfect it, but your patience will be rewarded.

Hello there, I'm Somalian and I was looking for Ethiopian Injera, it seems the recipe and steps are very simple. I will give it a short it's pretty much similar to Somali one however the difference is the flour (we use self-raising flour, all purpose, wheat flour), days left to raise (we left it over night else it goes too sour)...Somali one is also smaller if you want to learn how to make try http://www.mysomalifood.com/breads/lahooh-spongy-pancake-like-bread/ Cheers!

Summer pudding

Is best made a day ahead, allowing the juices to ooze into the bread casing, turning the lot into a juicy, vivid berry-red.
