I take that back this is not dosa this is a pancake. In thickness you have pan cakes, then crepes, then injera and then dosa. Dosa is very thin. Except Injera the rest can be made from regular flour. Injera must be made of teff, has to be very sour and flimsy and spongy to the touch and should sog very well with the sauces.
This is basically dosa, if its not made from teff. Indian stores sell the dosa batter. Teff is sold in health stores for limited consumption.
Your batter is too thick, for more authentic injera, after you add the salt, add more water to make your batter thinner..sort of to a slighly thin mushroom soup consistency. Then let it sit for 20 mins before cooking.
Pour the batter is a circular motion onto the pan starting from the outside and working inwards. You should avoid tilting and shaking the pan to distribute the batter – doing this will reduce the number of eyes in the injera.
You are famous. I see your videos everywhere.
Good for you!
Nice exercise with Ethiopian Injera. It is my favariorite food with chicken soup.
this is also available here in Iceland, although made differently and not stacked with papertowels between them
Sounds yummy. I couldn’t tell how high your flame was on the stove. It “looks” like a medium flame, but I wanted to make sure. Thanks for another great tut to try!

Crepe making pans, with a circling arm attached to them would do but the ones I saw are too small. Injera should at least be the size of the plate you are serving the food with. You put the injera and scoop the wot and other dishes on top. That is how you should do it.
