Wonderfully hearty
After my eldest son introduced me to Ethiopian food, I was hooked! Unfortunately eating out can get quite costly so when I came across this kit I was beyond thrilled! I have purchased this kit approximately 6 times over the course of two years and I'm never disappointed. Each time I have prepared this dish, I have added either lamb, beef, chicken, leave it as is with the lentils or toss in peas and potatoes and always a dash of salt to bring out the full flavor of the ingredients. The injera is quick and simple which adds to the simplicity of preparing this hearty delicious meal. All in all, this is a fantastic dish for anyone wishing to experience the wonderful flavors of Ethiopia!

Really liked this, made us happy
We have several Ethiopian restaurants nearby, and have wanted to try it at home for a while but have been intimidated. This was very easy, and the injera was surprisingly good, maybe not as good as our favorite places, but better than some and much better than I thought I could make at home without a long fermentation process. The beans cooked as quickly as the recipe said for us and were very tasty, and better the next day. We served it with a little yogurt on the side, a quick simple salad, and it was just right.

Amazing!
I have purchased this many times for not only myself, but for friends and family and have nothing but positive things to say! The layers of spices burst with flavor with each bite. Easy to prepare and quite frankly, you can add a variety of meat i.e., beef, chicken, pork, lamb, etc., and any one of them only enhance this truly decadent dish. This dish is perfect for any occasion and especially if you plan on entertaining and wish for your company to experience a wondrous dish! It will leave them talking about it for days!

Injera is the best part
Making the injera was super fun. Most of them came out pretty much like they were supposed to! I think it's key to have a high enough heat that it sizzles when you put it on, and also copious application of the nonstick spray between each addition. It makes a ton of food - I think we got twelve 9" injera and a good two or three cups of lentil mix. It lasted my husband and I about two and a half nights (more of a snack than a meal the last day). I also gave this to my mom, who made it first, and she recommended only mixing up half my injera mix the first night, as the fully-made injera are best the day they're made. I'm glad she told us that, because I think she's right. If you do split injera nights, make sure you mix up all the dry ingredients before halving, because there's more than one ingredient in that bag. Also, if you get full and don't make all your liquid mix the first day - like we did - it will be okay in the fridge until the next day, but as the club soda goes flat your injera will be less springy. As much as I loved learning about injera, the mild turmeric sauce wasn't a standout for me - it was REALLY mild and we ended up putting more salt and curry seasoning in the lentils to make them taste more like something. So if you're worried about spice levels, the mild sauce will definitely be fine - maybe even too mild. Overall, a fun thing to do!

Very Spicy
While I loved this kit, it was way too spicy for my husband and I only used about 2/5 of the jar of kulet! This falls into the “more for me” category; not a problem. As far as the injera bread goes, I used a cast iron griddle with a cast iron lid. When I lined the lid with a towel, it stuck to it so I just used the lid alone and it worked very well.

Once you get the swing of it
Where I live now there is not where to get Injera so this was a welcome treat. It was a bit frustrating to get right but once I had it down it went smoothly. It made TON of food by the way. The time for the lentils was off for me, I had to add a lot more time. Overall the dish was tasty but being a quick version not identical to the original obviously.

Fun & tasty recipe to try!
I tried this Take Out Kit because I'd never made injera before & thought it'd be fun to try - the end product was full of flavor and delicious!

poor
This recipe may require someone to be a skilled cook. The Injera didn't turn out anything like the Injera I've eaten in restaurants. I got a lot of raw dough and the directions said cook for two minutes and it seems to take a lot longer. There are no troubleshooting directions if things seem to be turning out wrong. There is nothing in the directions about how spicy the dish is or how to lower the spice level. I tried a spoonful of the lentils and it is super spicy. The difficulty level says moderate. I would say that that would just require more steps and that it should still come out right. Maybe, by moderate the owner means that the dish won't come out right and it will be your fault. haha.
