I'm Ethiopian and you taught me some things that I didn't even know. Amazing video and great attention to detail. Very impressive sir. Thank you for doing this. God bless 🙌🏾
I have a basic idea of eastern and western cooking but wow… you were right, this really was like entering another universe. I haven’t heard of any of these spices! Thanks for introducing me to these, I will definitely be on the lookout for ethiopian cuisine whenever I visit someplace they are available.
I was honestly pretty surprised at the volume of unique spices in these dishes. Stay tuned for some more ethio/eritrean research in the future. Thanks for watching!
everything looks delicious! ill have to see if there are any ethiopian restaurants in my area and try the cuisine out! btw, i appreciate your reluctance to use blender type machines, but may i ask exactly why you refuse to use them?
Ethiopian restaurants are definitely hidden gems! Funny story about the blenders, when I was researching for this episode, I saw a lot of folks on Ethiopian sites insist on mortars and pestles as the only way to go. Personally, I avoid food processors because they're hard to wash and I prefer to do things by hand(also they are kinda expensive haha). Thanks for watching!
You accidentally ruined your enjeraaaaa 😢😅 After you make the absit you only let it mix and cool for few hours like 2 or 3 hours max. That gives it the right texture and test you see the other video. Not bat for first time, nice grasp. it’s not easy to understand Ethiopian food esp. enjera b/c it’s a way of life as you said it. So good One tip tho: don’t assume things and give people wrong advice. It ruins the understanding of the culture for others. Other than that, it’s a cool video. Thanks.
Yes... unfortunately my Injera didnt turn out too great😅. I absolutely agree that alterations from tradition should be fully transparent, and I must have forgotten to disclose this one. After some failed attempts with a 2 hour rest, I did tests from 1-24 hours of rest after absit, and found the 12 to give me decent results with such a young starter(3 days old at the time). You are correct, this process should only take a couple hours. So for beginners, I'd recommend borrowing a bit of a healthy starter for better results. In the last few weeks, the starter has matured, and I've made a few more batches of injera to greater success(in the 2-4 hour window!). Hopefully in a future video, I can do this dish justice. Which reminds me, I need to find some more dishes to enjoy it with!
Wow this video deserves to go viral
Thanks!❤

Wow! What an impressive episode! 😀
I'm glad you liked it!
Your attention to detail is impeccable. Thank you for showing how to make our food. we put raw not clarified butter on our hair.
Thank you for the clarification! It was an absolute pleasure to learn about Ethiopian cuisine.
the amount of effort you put into these episodes is really crazy!! I love it, keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Fermented food and humanity go hand in hand. Gluten free makes injera even better.
Its the kind of food that makes you feel complete. Thanks for watching!
Enjera is one of the super food you can gift to yourself and your loved ones.
LET'S GO 💪💪💪
You didn't disappoint. Great job!
