Injera is a popular indigenous Ethiopian dish, prepared from teff, a small round grain that thrives mainly in the higher lands of Ethiopia. It is flatbread with spongy like texture. Injera is a key component to the dining process in the Ethiopian culture as bread is their most fundamental component.

Injera is mainly served on a wide plate with various Ethiopian savoury dishes served on top of it. As the 'feast' progresses, it soaks the juices from the dishes. The crowning moment when eating Injera is when all the stew is over and the flatbread is eaten to show completion of the meal.
