⭐ Doro Wat Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken drumsticks or thighs
  • 3 large onions, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp berbere spice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced
  • 3 tbsp niter kibbeh (Ethiopian spiced butter) or regular butter
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup chicken broth or water
  • 2–3 boiled eggs (optional but traditional)
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Chicken

  • Soak chicken in lemon juice and a little salt for 15 minutes. Rinse and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Onions

  • Add chopped onions to a dry pot (no oil).
  • Cook on medium heat until onions become soft and deep golden.
  • This may take 20–30 minutes and builds authentic flavor.

Step 3: Add Butter & Spices

  • Add niter kibbeh (or butter), garlic, and ginger.
  • Stir in berbere spice and cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4: Build the Stew

  • Add tomato paste and mix well.
  • Add chicken pieces and coat with the spice mixture.

Step 5: Simmer

  • Pour in broth/water, cover, and cook on low heat for 40–50 minutes.
  • Add boiled eggs in the last 10 minutes.

Step 6: Final Seasoning

  • Taste and add salt or extra berbere if needed.
  • Serve warm with injera or rice.

⭐ Serving Suggestions

  • Traditional Ethiopian injera
  • Steamed rice
  • Flatbread
  • Roasted vegetables
  • Fresh salad

FAQs

1. What is berbere spice?

A flavorful Ethiopian spice blend made with chili, paprika, fenugreek, garlic, and herbs.

2. Can I make Doro Wat without niter kibbeh?

Yes. You can use regular butter or a little ghee.

3. How spicy is Doro Wat?

It depends on your berbere blend. You can adjust the heat by adding more or less.

4. Can I use boneless chicken?

Bone-in chicken gives the best flavor, but boneless pieces work too.

5. How long does it store?

Up to 4 days in the fridge and 3 months in the freezer.
