Something Complicated

Doro wat is often considered an Ethiopian national dish and is the chicken stew with spicy sauce – without frills. Ethiopian cuisine of all time, made with basic ingredients and spices, here is what I discovered about it during my time in the country. It is served with misir wat, Ethiopia’s fermented flatbread, which is also used as a food source for skimming lentils. Sources: 0, 3, 6

This stew is usually made with red lentils and ghee, and doro wat is born with the same ingredients as in the Shiro fit – fit version, but in a slightly different way. This stew can also be cooked with a variety of spices such as cumin, coriander, cayenne, turmeric, paprika and black pepper. They can be made with fir, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, salt, pepper, garlic, onion and ginger. Doro wat is worn with a mixture of fir, red lentils, green lentils and red curry powder.

The shiro powder at the bottom of the plate is a thick, almost pasty substance – like chickpeas, sour pea flour, garlic, onions and ginger. It is made with a mixture of red lentils, red curry powder, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, salt, pepper and garlic. The flour is the main component of the Shiro fit – fit version of doro wat and is usually made by mixing chickpeas and broad beans flour with garlic and onions. This results in a thicker and almost pasty substance, consisting of fir, cardamom, cinnamon, spices, cayenne, turmeric, paprika and black pepper. They can also be prepared in various ways, such as with garbanzo beans, chickpeas and red curries. Sources: 9, 11, 14

Then immediately add the water and salt, add Shiroflour and Berber (if necessary) and mix well, then mix and boil. For a thinner consistency shiro will suffice 10 minutes, but for thicker shiriros it is recommended to add an additional tablespoon of shiro flour. Sources: 11

You can buy pre-made shiropowder in any grocery store or you can find recipes on the Internet or in ethopic cookbooks. If you are interested in making this dish, you can buy Shiro Powder at your local grocery store. For all those who are interested at all, I am glad to do so for all at the end of the day and for the next few days. Sources: 4, 13

Chickpea flour may not be available at your local grocery store, but you can find it on the Internet or in ethopic cookbooks and in some grocery stores. Ready – made injera can also be found in many grocery stores in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Sources: 4, 11

Shiro is my favorite food in the world, and I ordered it almost every time I was in Ethiopia. So imagine my surprise when my friend, after tasting several different Ethiopian dishes, declared that Shiro was his favourite. I had a whole plate of injera with me, but when he told me it was acceptable and actually encouraged him to suck it in with the bottom of a clay pot, I couldn’t contain my excitement! I just made a recipe for Shiro and it’s so delicious I have to make it. Sources: 4, 5, 11

Ethiopian cuisine has been frozen, and now for the first time there’s Tolo, made by a company in Woodbridge, Va. Ethiopian spices flavoured with clarified butter and sold in the US from Addis Kolo’s, also in Wood Bridge. Va. So I started my search for a powder – based on a dish I could cook in my own kitchen without using spices or other ingredients. Sources: 1, 12

Non-vegetarian versions of Shiro often contain a lot of butter, but vegan versions usually contain a little olive oil. It’s vegan food, so you don’t need spice butter or butter lard in the vegan version, and there are many other options, like spices, spices – free spices or spices with a little salt and a pinch of cinnamon.
