How to make injera at home

These are some steps and notes on how to make injera:

Mixing: pour the teff flour into a container, and pour warm water, usually, the ratio of water to flour is about 2:1 or 3:2, stir slowly to form a thin batter, similar to the consistency of yogurt or porridge.

Fermentation process: if using yeast, add it to the water and mix well before mixing with the flour; if using yogurt or old dough, mix it directly into the batter. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and place in a warm place to ferment, usually for 1-3 days, until there are many bubbles on the surface of the batter and it smells slightly sour.

Cooking injera: after preheating the pot, pour the fermented batter evenly into the center of the pot and let the batter cook in the pot relying on its own heat and steam without turning it over. Wait for a few minutes until the batter solidifies and small holes appear on the surface.
