Guys if you are enjoying this video, note that this is a series, please watch the rest as I interview this incredible woman. Also please SUBSCRIBE as I am always uploading new cruelty free soul food recipes from around the world ❤ thank you and I appreciate you.

Haha she's a beautiful soul.

[@nayanjittilak2584]

Yes! Evangelicals rejoice! Too bad 99.9 of the American variety will never taste Injera... Much less find Ethiopia on the map... Due to a long and illustrious history of under education😅

[@brunetyannick1174]

Oh lord Injera are so good. From a French perspective, It's as if sourdough bread made sweet love with buckwheat crepe and a bit of lemon. I wish I could eat it all day everyday,

[@UncleLousKitchen]

Ooh buckwheat crepes! My wife loves those

[@TheVeganMooncat]

OMG Amazing! Ethiopian is one of my favourite types of food!

[@UncleLousKitchen]

Thanks so much mate episode 2 coming Tuesday I know you like Ethiopian stews

[@Prattyandfood]

LOVE THIS. This is probably the most no-fuss, no-fluff injera making videos i've watched ( and ive watched a lot trust me)!

[@tedaman8652]

So homesick watching her cook all my favorite dishes thank you for this 🙏🏿💙

This lady is using the old Ethiopian way to make Injera😍 because we don't use this anymore, but we use Electric meggo.

[@UncleLousKitchen]

If I had the patience to make injera I would buy an electric one too haha

Beautiful lady and atmosphere. Feels like holiday. 😊♥️

[@UncleLousKitchen]

Thank you it really was

[@fitihab]

I am Ethiopian and I approve this video! In the temperate zone, it is made differently and we don’t mix teff with other things and the yeast is natural. But, great work here for people like me who reside in the north hemisphere! Sometimes, I make instant injera and it comes out all “blind”. lol I add even apple cider! lol

[@KillerbeeV98]

amazing video, thank you!

[@UncleLousKitchen]

Thank you bee 🐝

[@annapg.4626]

Ethiopian food is so good! There is an Ethiopian restaurant about 2 hours away from me. I try to go once per year, and I always get the injera bread with different vegetable dishes on top.

[@davidcooper177]

Only once a year? Why not once a week?

[@99xara99]

Ethopian food is SO good, unfortunately it is soo hard to get in europe! There is only a few restaurants only in big cities, it's expensive, and the ingredients are super hard to get by and also expensive. I wanna eat this every day 🙈

[@UncleLousKitchen]

Shame to hear that and it doesn't make sense for it to be expensive. if you like Ethiopian food check the rest of the videos in the series, you can make them at home

[@leo5verling334]

Nice one Lou! Great to see the injera made step by step, now I know how much like a batter it is. I have toyed with making it. I make sourdough breads and Dosa. We have a great Ethiopian cafe in Oxford that's serves all those dishes - it's delicous food, great value and the mother and son who run it are the nicest people. 👏

[@UncleLousKitchen]

Heyyy Leo thanks so much for stopping by I always appreciate the comments

[@UncleLousKitchen]

I've never met a bad Ethiopian person they are kind gentle souls

[@LivingLambsVeganKitchen]

Thanks so much, Lou, for this great series. I loved all 4 videos. Great to see the recipes are super-basic, with just a difference in seasoning.

[@UncleLousKitchen]

Hi Lamb :D thank you so so much for taking the time to stop by I really appreciate the comment.

[@LivingLambsVeganKitchen]

@@UncleLousKitchen It's great to learn that everyone else cooks how we do -- simple ingredients, some do it this way (refrigerate 3 days), some do it another way (refrigerate 5 days), so it's nothing to sweat about. Just get the applicable spices in order and have at it! ❤

[@UncleLousKitchen]

Absolutely. If it tastes good it tastes good (to use a carnist response to sausage 🤣)

[@tonyamcmillian2085]

I would love to know how to make the oils/paste that was used. The noug/nug and the tabla/telba or hemp/flax, that was in the containers. I have made injera once from another video, the five/six day process. I have this recipe in the fridge now at day three. I would like to know the recipe for oils used in this video. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[@PK-fv7ov]

Perfect❤ I tried to prepare but failed😊

[@nydawijai5945]

The combination of my favorite food and hearing Hebrew is awesome. ❤ My injera came out terribly. Is it cooked at a low heat? Would it help to mix in another flour or starch (gluten free)?

[@UncleLousKitchen]

Ah that could be the reason, it needs to be high heat, it only takes a minute or so to 'cook' make sure it's thin enough

[@sarahskicks]

This is awesome!!!

[@UncleLousKitchen]

Thanks so much Sarah

[@linedezainde]

I love Ethiopian food! Got teff flour a few months ago and never had the courage to try this. I wonder if you could eventually veganize the spicy lamb recipe they also serve. I just love the mix of spices but can't figure out what they are. Thank you for this series!!

[@UncleLousKitchen]

Hi Line thanks so much for stopping by, in the next few episodes you will see various stews where in the video you'll see the spices used and I mention in the description what's in each spice blend so you can recreate it at home 🥰 really glad you like it and I hope you get a chance to watch the rest

Amazing 😮

[@Angel52102]

Great content! :) Where can I purchase the mogogo?

[@UncleLousKitchen]

Tough question, I looked on Amazon but couldn't find, maybe I'm spelling it wrong

[@JannatJannat56]

After prepare the batter we have to keep in fridge for 3days thrn add boiling water and keep it outside till afternoon then make injera .I am correct or missing something .

[@UncleLousKitchen]

I think you can do it a bit less but that's how she does it

[@Prattyandfood]

I think she meant hot/warm water, because boiling water would kind of partially cook out

[@einsteinwallah2]

indian dosa batter which takes much shorter fermentation time also calls for adding small amount of fenugreek ... they add seeds ...very few indian recipes use fenugreek powder but it is ground coarsely and added to indian pickles along with coarsely ground mustard seeds ... since coarse mustard is also used in kanji making ... kanji is a fermented water with mustard and other spices including ... i have a feeling that this traditional recipes and ingredients have to do with encouraging growth of right kind of fermentation germs and inhibiting growth of wrong kind of germs ... or these ingredients are rich in terms needed for fermentation

[@UncleLousKitchen]

I love dosa I wish I had a good pan for it

[@einsteinwallah2]

@@UncleLousKitchen i thought same pan that you use for injera can be used ... dosa batter is spread with back of spoon which is used to measure batter on griddle ... there is a learning curve with any new recipe for that you have to watch dosa making videos

What does the boiling water do for the injera versus using cold water?

[@mariag5357]

So after she had it in the fridge for 3 days and adds the hot water does she stir the hot water in? And after that it has to rest longer or can be cooked right away?

[@vickief.6680]

Rest it again, she said. Like morning to afternoon.

[@jnellsparri284]

What does Fenugreek do to the Teff mixture?

[@UncleLousKitchen]

I think it's a mix for flavour and when you soak it, it has like a gel formation around it. It may contribute to the way it turns out

[@dhivyajayaprakash5899]

Fenugreek helps in fermenting the batter. In southern India, we used soaked fenugreek seeds while preparing our batter. It makes it soft and fluffly.

[@jnellsparri284]

@@dhivyajayaprakash5899 thanks, that's good to know. I thought you couldn't ferment in the fridge because of the cold temp, but I must try this.

[@dhivyajayaprakash5899]

@@jnellsparri284 Yes, that's what I thought so too. Other recipes suggest to store the batter in dark place for a few days. Have you tried this method? Were you successful?

[@jnellsparri284]

@@dhivyajayaprakash5899 I successfully made injera by not keeping it in the fridge, but it tasted grainy. So I will try the refrigerator just to see if that will work. If not, it will have to be left out.
