Monica Bhide Ethiopian spices seem so similar to Indian ones that when I first heard about berbere, I knew I had to try it. Berbere, an absolutely delightful mix of spices used extensively in Ethiopian cuisine, is unique to each household, as are so many such mixes. It can comprise garlic, chiles, fenugreek — and so much more.

The link to Kalustyan’s is helpful for some of the hard to get ingredients in these flavorful dishes.
My husband has been begging me to attempt Ethiopian food at home (though his favorite dish on the menu is kitfo, and I ain’t going near raw meat). Perhaps doro wat will satisfy. Thanks!
