Ethiopian Injera

Injera, the Ethiopian pancake-style bread is traditionally made with teff (a native wheat). Teff flour may be available at good health food stores, however if you can’t find it, substitute buckwheat, which does not taste exactly like injera but is similar in texture and colour.

Buckwheat

An unusually shaped grain, a little like a diamond in shape. It is not a cereal but a broad-leafed leguminous plant. Buckwheat is used ground for Japanese soba (buckwheat noodles) and in many European cultures.
