Injera
Spongy, tangy sourdough flatbread made from teff flour, serving as both plate and utensil.
Why It Works
Wild yeast fermentation over 2-3 days creates the signature sour tang and CO2 bubbles; teff's tiny grain size produces a batter that spreads thin and cooks on one side only, creating the spongy eye pattern.
