What is the Difference Between Ethiopian Doro Wat and American Chicken Stew?
Numerous qualities differentiate doro wat from stews of other cultures. The most apparent is an unusual cooking technique. The preparation of a doro wat begins with chopped onions slow cooked, without any fat or oil, in a dry skillet or pot until much of their moisture has been evaporated.Fat (usually niter kibbeh) is then added, and the onions and other aromatics are sautéed before the addition of other ingredients. This process causes the onions to break down and thicken the chicken stew.

What is Injera Bread?
Ethiopian Injera is a sourdough-risen flatbread with a somewhat spongy texture, usually made out of teff flour. It is the staple and national dish of Ethiopia and Eritrea.
The flat bread is the base or main part of any Ethiopian or Eritrean meal.
Injera is the most important part of any Ethiopian meal. It is often both the serving platter and eating utensil for a meal like a spoon.
Hearty stews such as doro wat are placed on top of the bread and then the meal is eaten by tearing pieces of injera off and scooping up the stews.
How to Make Ethiopian Injera- Ferment Teff Flour
This is how I make injera. Check if all of the water that goes into this is warm, not too hot not too cold. This process of fermentation takes 3- 5 days in total but nutritiously satisfying.
To make injera, teff flour is mixed with water. The fermentation process is activated by adding ersho.
Ersho is a clear, yellow liquid that accumulates on the surface of fermenting teff-flour batter and is collected to serve as an inoculum for the next fermentation.
Ersho contains (aerobic) Bacillus species and several yeasts (in order of abundance): Candida milleri, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Pichia naganishii and Debaromyces hansenii.
The mixture is then allowed to ferment for an average of two to three days, giving it a mildly sour taste.
The injera is baked into large, flat pancakes. The dough's viscosity allows it to be poured onto the baking surface, rather than rolled out, which is unusual for yeast or sourdough bread.
