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😄

Ethiopian food is one of my absolute favourite ethnic cuisines ever, and I have been blessed to have been taught several recipes by one of my best childhood friends. I think it could be the next big "fad" coming. More people should try it and see how amazing the food is. Underrated..

[@mikem4481]

have you tried italian?

[@oldsarj]

I have only gone to one Ethiopian restaurant in my life but it was a memorable experience. Up here in Portland there are a couple on the other side of town and I simply must make the effort to get to one. Their food is so good. It's right up there with all the other great cuisines and is on par with Algerian, Mexican and Thai. Wonderful stuff.

My cousins father is Ethiopian and when he used to come and visit us he made this. Pretty spicy for a little white boy, but this is probably the reason I love spicy food now. haha

[@gottagift]

Just made my own with some improvisations. Incredibly delicious. I did not have any injira bread so i had to enjoy it with Tortillas. Very, very delightful. It does require a lot of attention to the recipe while cooking but it is soo worth the effort. Thank you for sharing your video.

I can tell it's one of those dishes which is around from a very long time. Their is lot of similarity between this cuisine and Indian cuisine, especially ghee and that masala mix. You can picture trade routes and cultural exchange of ancient world and how it helped shaping the modern world and it's culture... This dish has everything thing that makes a great chicken curry, the only difference is, ground spices are grind into Power which is why you have to stir it regularly or else spices might get burned.. it looks great, might try this soon.. ✌️

Great video. When we were in Sudan taking care of refugees from Eritria and Ethiopia, we only knew them as "the seven spices". All the people in the market called them this,. Sometimes we would get the fancier, "11 spices" but No one seemed to know what they were, even the sales guy in the Suk or anyone we were with (of course, all guys) , so good to finally know after all this time!

I'm so glad you washed your chicken🐔Caribbean's always use fresh lemon🍋, lime juice or white vinegar to wash and clean the meat, before it's seasoned and cooked. To remove any germs and bacteria🙏🏾

[@goldeneaglereborn]

Why are you lying?

[@h00db01i]

the water and lemon technique can be used to store the chicken uncooled after butchering for a couple of hours. the cold water will cool and preserve the chicken by keeping air away from it and reducing oxidation. lemon juice is also known as a food preservative, sometimes used to stop eg apple slices from turning brown (antioxidant). any remaining bacteria will be reduced to irrelevantly small numbers during the cooking process, as heat is a very reliable way of sterilization. bacteria don't seem to develop any immunities against heat, as this has been done for thousands of years. cooking something for 10 minutes at upwards of 70° Celsius/160° Fahrenheit reliably kills most bacteria but whatever goes through has to fight your immune system next. we can't forget that food is never entirely sanitary, maybe that's why some hippies claim they can live off sunlight. now, wouldn't that be a clean solution!

[@abdullahhassan9544]

That's the indian way...

[@meyokkob458]

We also need to remember that back in the day our chicken wasn’t store brought they rain wild. Washing chicken with lemon or vinegar killed bacteria. If you cook your chicken properly at the correct temp it kills the bacteria
