That's my favorite ethiopian food! Around here it doesn't really ever come with the veggie combo but you can get a side of shiro in addition. YUM!

Mmm.

Where in Philly did you find shiro powder?

west philly is filled with african grocery stores. the international food store has it, and the super 7, and those shops along baltimore all have it. Marrakech market has it too.

I got mine from a neighbor. it was pretty rudimentary, saute chopped onion & tomato, add water & powder, simmer for 30 minutes.

injera is easy to get around here, easier than sitting a bowl of flour & water on top of the fridge for a couple of days :-)
