I spent an afternoon making Doro Wat from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting teff injera right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The tangy from fermented injera result was rewarding once I got it right.

the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is a formalised ritual that can take hours. I served it with tej honey wine as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Doro Wat yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
