Injera Recipe:
2kg Teff Flour
2L Water
1 tablespoon Fenugreek Powder
BLOG:
Injera is a traditional Ethiopian bread that is made from a fermented batter of teff flour. This spongy, sourdough flatbread is a staple in Ethiopian cuisine and is often served with various stews and sauces. It is also used as a utensil, making it a unique and versatile food.
Injera is not only delicious, but it is also vegan, making it a great option for those following a plant-based diet. Teff flour, which is the main ingredient in injera, is a gluten-free grain that is rich in protein, fiber, and minerals. The fermentation process used to make injera also adds beneficial probiotics to the bread.
One of the benefits of injera is its versatility. It can be served with a variety of stews, including lentils, vegetables, and spicy sauces, making it a filling and nutritious meal. Injera can also be made into a sandwich by rolling it up with fillings such as avocado, tofu, or tempeh.
If you are interested in trying injera, you can easily make it at home with teff flour and water. Simply mix the ingredients together, let the batter ferment for a few days, and then cook it on a hot griddle. Injera is a delicious and unique bread that is perfect for vegans and those following a gluten-free diet.
In conclusion, injera is a staple in Ethiopian cuisine that is not only delicious but also nutritious and versatile. Try making it at home and serve it with your favorite vegan stews and sauces for a delicious and filling meal.

She greeted him with a, “Praise the Lord!”….I’m a fan already!
Haha she's a beautiful soul.
@@UncleLousKitchen I’ll eat anything that she cooks!❤️
Yes! Evangelicals rejoice! Too bad 99.9 of the American variety will never taste Injera... Much less find Ethiopia on the map... Due to a long and illustrious history of under education😅
I love her smile. It would be an absolute gift to learn from her.
Look's amazing! Great job lou and the special lady
Thanks so much Yael!!!! Great to see you here.
OMG Amazing! Ethiopian is one of my favourite types of food!
Thanks so much mate episode 2 coming Tuesday I know you like Ethiopian stews
Thanks so much, Lou, for this great series. I loved all 4 videos. Great to see the recipes are super-basic, with just a difference in seasoning.
Hi Lamb :D thank you so so much for taking the time to stop by I really appreciate the comment.
@@UncleLousKitchen It's great to learn that everyone else cooks how we do -- simple ingredients, some do it this way (refrigerate 3 days), some do it another way (refrigerate 5 days), so it's nothing to sweat about. Just get the applicable spices in order and have at it! ❤
Absolutely. If it tastes good it tastes good (to use a carnist response to sausage 🤣)
@@UncleLousKitchen 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much Jacky I hope you get round to watching the whole series with her, she's beautiful and her story is both tragic and inspiring
Oh lord Injera are so good. From a French perspective, It's as if sourdough bread made sweet love with buckwheat crepe and a bit of lemon. I wish I could eat it all day everyday,
Ooh buckwheat crepes! My wife loves those
Ethiopian food is so delicious and the people are so beautiful and kind!
They absolutely are
Beautiful lady and atmosphere. Feels like holiday. 😊♥️

I found your channel today, subscribed.
You're amazing thank you
Nice one Lou! Great to see the injera made step by step, now I know how much like a batter it is. I have toyed with making it. I make sourdough breads and Dosa. We have a great Ethiopian cafe in Oxford that's serves all those dishes - it's delicous food, great value and the mother and son who run it are the nicest people. 👏
Heyyy Leo thanks so much for stopping by I always appreciate the comments
I've never met a bad Ethiopian person they are kind gentle souls
This lady is using the old Ethiopian way to make Injera😍 because we don't use this anymore, but we use Electric meggo.
If I had the patience to make injera I would buy an electric one too haha
looks healthy afffff ugh i want it now!
I need that grill, or the Electric meggo soon! 😊
Great content! :) Where can I purchase the mogogo?
Tough question, I looked on Amazon but couldn't find, maybe I'm spelling it wrong
The combination of my favorite food and hearing Hebrew is awesome. ❤ My injera came out terribly. Is it cooked at a low heat? Would it help to mix in another flour or starch (gluten free)?
Ah that could be the reason, it needs to be high heat, it only takes a minute or so to 'cook' make sure it's thin enough
10:50 Yes! Beautiful! Then pause at 10:51
Sorry Ty I didn't understand
Ethopian food is SO good, unfortunately it is soo hard to get in europe! There is only a few restaurants only in big cities, it's expensive, and the ingredients are super hard to get by and also expensive. I wanna eat this every day 🙈
Shame to hear that and it doesn't make sense for it to be expensive. if you like Ethiopian food check the rest of the videos in the series, you can make them at home
I love Ethiopian food! Got teff flour a few months ago and never had the courage to try this. I wonder if you could eventually veganize the spicy lamb recipe they also serve. I just love the mix of spices but can't figure out what they are. Thank you for this series!!
Hi Line thanks so much for stopping by, in the next few episodes you will see various stews where in the video you'll see the spices used and I mention in the description what's in each spice blend so you can recreate it at home 🥰 really glad you like it and I hope you get a chance to watch the rest
Amazing 😮
❤❤👍
we love Ethiopian food but since we left Sudan we could not find the ingredients to prepare the berbere' powder although in Khartoum we could buy it as paste . I realy wish to find the right ingredients recipe and the way to prepare and the place I can find in uk . thank you
Hi Nabil, try big Asian supermarkets you'd be surprised they sometimes have African products
indian dosa batter which takes much shorter fermentation time also calls for adding small amount of fenugreek ... they add seeds ...very few indian recipes use fenugreek powder but it is ground coarsely and added to indian pickles along with coarsely ground mustard seeds ... since coarse mustard is also used in kanji making ... kanji is a fermented water with mustard and other spices including ... i have a feeling that this traditional recipes and ingredients have to do with encouraging growth of right kind of fermentation germs and inhibiting growth of wrong kind of germs ... or these ingredients are rich in terms needed for fermentation
I love dosa I wish I had a good pan for it
@@UncleLousKitchen i thought same pan that you use for injera can be used ... dosa batter is spread with back of spoon which is used to measure batter on griddle ... there is a learning curve with any new recipe for that you have to watch dosa making videos
Great Video! Where can I get the Mogogo potter ? I really want to buy it. Please send the link if it is online
I looked on Amazon unfortunately I couldn't find one there apparently it's spelt mEgogo with an E not an O or A, I didn't know
@UncleLousKitchen Thank you! Ask Mama where she bought it if you have a chance to meet her again. Thanks!
It's commonly known as a Mitad.
@@cramcrams7741 I am looking for the real mitad
After prepare the batter we have to keep in fridge for 3days thrn add boiling water and keep it outside till afternoon then make injera .I am correct or missing something .
I think you can do it a bit less but that's how she does it
🎉😊
❤️
What does the boiling water do for the injera versus using cold water?
Hi Chef, thanks for stopping by, I'll be honest I have no idea sorry buddy
Helps the enjera to out bubbles/ eyes
How you can eat that big flatbread?
Rip it and dip it
ተልባ፣flexseed ፣ኑግ፣black cumin
Where can i buy the mogogo in Europe? Tnks
Hi Andrea I would recommend Amazon for this
What does Fenugreek do to the Teff mixture?
I think it's a mix for flavour and when you soak it, it has like a gel formation around it. It may contribute to the way it turns out
Fenugreek helps in fermenting the batter. In southern India, we used soaked fenugreek seeds while preparing our batter. It makes it soft and fluffly.
@@dhivyajayaprakash5899 thanks, that's good to know. I thought you couldn't ferment in the fridge because of the cold temp, but I must try this.
@@jnellsparri284 Yes, that's what I thought so too. Other recipes suggest to store the batter in dark place for a few days. Have you tried this method? Were you successful?
@@dhivyajayaprakash5899 I successfully made injera by not keeping it in the fridge, but it tasted grainy. So I will try the refrigerator just to see if that will work. If not, it will have to be left out.
K thi k ,teff flour greie in oven very put water?
I didn't understand sorry
ቀለበት አድርጎ ሊጥ ሲቦካ በሕይዎቴ አይቼ አላውቅም ነውር ነው
Noug is Niger seeds
Yes, that's it!!!
ምጣድ፣ምጎጎ
When i try to do it, it breaks up....😮💨
Ok so in this case it may be the bottom is not cooked enough or you aren't using non stick.
@@UncleLousKitchen hey there, thanks 4 answering. I am using a new crepes grill, but it was partially as you said, it was not cooked enought. The other problem was it was too dense and couldn't form the little holes that allow it to dry enought.
How to make injera: step 1) Be Ethiopian
Does that mean you can't qualify to make Chinese or Curry?
Minutes and minutes of greasing the stove top...
That's the process 😃
😂
?
She speaks Hebrew, because she similar to the real Hebrews, which you are not!!🤚🏽
Care to explain why?
