How To Make Spicy Ethiopian Chicken Stew: Doro Wat

[@fylliswilliams6046]

My husband was from Ethiopia and I was taught how to make Doro Wat over 40-years ago by my sister-in-law and several family friends. Yes, sometimes there would be 8 or 10 women in my kitchen dicing onions and cutting up chicken and cooking injera. We always had a house FULL of people; especially when someone would bring 'the spice' back from Ethiopia. I have watched several videos of others making this stew and this is by far the best! I love how she stressed the importance of cooking the onions properly to a deep brown, and that making Doro Wat IS a long process that cannot be accomplished in 30-minutes! Even the injera can take 4-5 days to make because of the fermentation time. So, if you want injera with your dish, think ahead! My mouth is watering right now and I do believe I am going to make a big pot full of Doro Wat today. I absolutely LOVE this stuff!

I had a female coworker who was from Ethiopia and we worked long hours as caretakers. After a while she found out that i am an Orthodox Christian like her, alhough she belongs to to the Ethiopian tewahedo church and i to the Serbian orthodox, the similarities are bigger than the differences. She was so happy to meet a person in Sweden, who wasnt Ethiopian and also Orthodox. And from that day we always celebrate Pascha, The Nativity, and other big feasts after fasting, together with our families. Doro Wat and Kitfo has become my absolute favorite dishes out of everything Ive ever tried in my life after being literally fed by her hundreds of times at work, and at festivities. This is also the only clip showing how to make Doro Wat, that she approves and considers authentic😄

I've never had "authentic" Doro Wat, but discovered a video recipe several years back and have made it many times since. It is so good when I make it, I can only imagine how good it would be from an actual Ethiopian restaurant or cooked by someone from Ethiopia. You will have to tend to the onions pretty frequently, and the smell of those onions cooking will be throughout your house for the day, but it's more than worth it. By no means am I the authority on Doro Wat, but I can tell Ms. Eden's is fire! Looks so good!

It's crazy how similar this is to Indian cuisine. Clarified butter, well cooked red onion, ginger garlic paste, spicy earthy spice blend, bone in chicken pieces, served with flatbread and eaten with your hands. If you gave me that list I'd think you were making Indian food.

[@sajid6027]

[@naanatechie-menson2526]

[@sajid6027]

@@naanatechie-menson2526 shito contains dried fish flakes no? So how is it similar?

[@manicagency]

That's because you are (no offence) not knowledge on global cultures. This style of cooking and eating is common across Asia and Africa and not special to India. Ginger , garlic, onion and chilli are super common almost every cuisine in Africa and Asia uses those as a base for cooking. Some places use dried fish, tamarhind, ground spices / herbs etc. Flat breads are a staple, along with rice and root vegetables (pounded or not). Most cultures in middle East and Africa eat with hands.

[@digitalenglish3620]

Correct Nora, Indian people are the descendants of Dravidians who migrated from the Horn of Africa to India. This is why the spices are similar to Indian spices.

[@ammardali1440]

Im from middle East, I made it today, it was awesome, and i prepared the berbere by myself also after grinding the spices using mortar and pestle, but i ate it with normal bread not injera. It was mouthwatering 🤤

Best dish in the world, hands down. Caramelizing the onions without a nonstick dutch oven sucks, but it is totally worth it if you have the time. Not sauteeing the onions is essential to this recipe.

@@BorkDoggo What the difference between this and curry aside from a lack of carrots? Is it a texture thing?

@@awilli182 The ratio of the spices is different although it's a lot of the same ingredients, and caramelized onions are a huge component of the sauce as you can see in the video. Sometimes curries might have tomato or coconut milk, but as far as I know Ethiopian stew or sauces usually don't.
