1. 1

   Combine the teff flour and water in a large bowl, whisking until smooth. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it ferment at room temperature for 24-48 hours, or until bubbly and slightly sour-smelling.

   Kokkens tips: The fermentation time can vary depending on room temperature; warmer conditions speed up the process.

2. 2

   After fermentation, stir the baking powder and salt into the teff batter. The consistency should be like thin pancake batter; add a little more water if it's too thick.

   Kokkens tips: The final batter should be thin enough to spread easily but not watery.

3. 3

   Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of injera batter onto the hot pan, tilting to spread it evenly into a thin, round crepe.

   Kokkens tips: Do not flip the injera. It cooks only on one side.

4. 4

   Cook the injera until small holes (called 'eyes') appear on the surface and the edges begin to curl up, about 2-3 minutes. The surface should be dry to the touch.

   Omtrent 3 min

   Kokkens tips: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring the 'eyes' form.

5. 5

   Remove the injera from the pan and place it on a plate. Cover with a clean cloth to keep it soft and warm. Repeat with the remaining batter until all injera are cooked.

    Stir in the green cabbage and kale. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 10-15 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.

    Omtrent 15 min

    Kokkens tips: Add a splash more broth if the stew becomes too dry.

    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve the hot vegetable stew alongside the fresh injera, using pieces of injera to scoop up the stew.
