Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken drumsticks or thighs
  • 3 large onions, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp berbere spice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced

  • Add boiled eggs in the last 10 minutes.

Step 6: Final Seasoning

  • Taste and add salt or extra berbere if needed.
  • Serve warm with injera or rice.

⭐ Serving Suggestions

  • Flatbread

FAQs

A flavorful Ethiopian spice blend made with chili, paprika, fenugreek, garlic, and herbs.

2. Can I make Doro Wat without niter kibbeh?

3. How spicy is Doro Wat?

It depends on your berbere blend. You can adjust the heat by adding more or less.
