Fatty_mouthfeel, if you're still out there and looking for injera made with 100% teff,

Try Abiata Cafe (75 Pleasant St. In Malden center). I've gotten takeout a couple of times and enjoyed the food; today we got a coupon in the mail and it says that their injera is all teff.

most ethiopian restaurants have injera made with teff. just ask for it

[StriperGuy]

I think the point of the original post is that many Ethiopian places blend the teff (millet) flour with other flours (wheat likely) and that does not yield as tasty an injera.

[lergnom]

If they do a blended injera, they'll typically - read: should - offer the teff alternative. It costs more and they're trying to offer lower priced options.

[StriperGuy]

I find that the option for one or the other is not usually offered here in Boston. Not sure why Teff flour should be so pricey. It is millet after all which is quite cheap in the US.

[Jolyon Helterman]

Addis Red Sea has both, but gives blend as default. When you ask for the teff injera, they suggest giving you some of both kinds.

I'm no teff guy, but isn't teff a bit different from millet? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eragrost... .

[StriperGuy]

I stand corrected. Always thought tef was just millet.

[lergnom]

The best - really the only very good - injera I've had was in DC back when Ethiopian food was the new "refugee" cuisine. The owners told me they'd smuggled in the starter from home, that it had been going for many years. In other words, the quality of the starter mattered because the fermentation had become a distinct and very pleasing flavor. It was remarkable. The restaurant was totally weird, more a bar/nightclub in Adams-Morgan but the food and particularly the injera was so good I'd go all the time.

That's one of the most bizarre thread titles I've ever seen. I wonder what Google keyword search would bring this up.

I'm having a really "teff" time trying to figure this thread out. So much so, that I think I've injeraed my brain???

Happy to entertain you ;-)

I was speaking to a topic that came up in this thread, where I mentioned a store that carried injera and fatty_mouthfeel had asked if it was made with teff only or teff and wheat

Was in a hurry and didn't take time to edit my title!
