This is one of my favorites as a side dish when we go out for Ethiopian food. Wat or Wot means curry or stew in Ethiopia. A lot of the side dishes have so many variations that you can adjust it to your taste buds. This is very similar to pata gobi, an Indian cabbage dish with potatoes.
The plating is usually done family-style at most Ethiopian restaurants and the injera is used as a scoop to eat. They usually do not serve the food with silverware. So to get the most authentic flavors, serve the Injera on a family platter with Doro Wat (Spicy Chicken Stew with Egg), Misr Wat (Red Lentil), Gomen Wat (Collard Greens), and Atkilt Wat(Cabbage and potatoes) with a side of tangy green salad.
