Ethiopian cuisine — , Christian fasting

Decide the order of Ethiopian cuisine before the pan is hot. “Christian fasting” in names that order, and 1 is heat, salt, or time. Do not treat a restaurant photo’s gloss as a quantity. Are restaurant versions "authentic"?

Ethiopian cuisine sits at spice 80 in this atlas. Doro wat and Injera show the range better than a single heat number. Doro wat plus one regional plate — not only the export icon. Addis Ababa, Gondar and Dire Dawa do not cook the same dinner. Regional stubbornness is the cuisine, not a footnote.

The home pantry around Injera and the labour behind Injera rarely fit a takeaway box. Restaurant Ethiopian cuisine is one register. Home pots and market stalls are others. Authenticity is a marketing word; technique is not. የኢትዮጵያ ምግብ is the local name used in this atlas beside Ethiopian cuisine.

Ethiopian cuisine is organised around injera / niter kibbeh / tej and teff injera. Doro wat and Injera are the plates most diners meet first. Street and home forms differ. The export icon is real; the pantry behind injera / niter kibbeh / tej is what makes it a system. How Ethiopian cuisine holds together
