What does INJERA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A soft, spongy, slightly sour flatbread from Ethiopia and Eritrea, made from teff flour.
Injera is the staple bread of Ethiopian and Eritrean cooking, made from a fermented batter of teff, a tiny grain, and cooked on a large flat griddle into a wide pancake with a bubbled surface. Diners tear off pieces and use them in place of cutlery to scoop up stews and vegetables, and a sheet of it is often laid under the whole meal as a plate. The fermentation gives it a gentle tang that balances spicy dishes.
