* In general, please follow the same guidelines as on the forums.

This is doro wat. It is a spicy curry-like Ethiopian stew. It is delicious, it is rich, it is spicy. It also hit all the areas I was craving lately. It is also really easy to make.
* Original recipe owners should be the only ones doing major changes to their recipes.
+
* Please try to keep image file sizes down and appropriate to the size of the page. 30 seconds in an image editing program will keep the site running much faster. The admins reserve the right to remove any pictures that are flagrant offenders.
+
Before one can make doro wat, the essential spice mixture is required. Indians have garam masala, and the Ethiopian equivalent (berbere) is fairly similar.
* Please use some common sense when it comes to pics. Insert things that make sense to show us. Don't insert a picture of water boiling for a "boil water" step please.
