Injera (Amharic: እንጀራ, romanized: ənǧära, [ɨndʒəra]; Tigrinya: ጣይታ, romanized: ṭayta; Oromo: budeena) is a sour fermented pancake-like flatbread with a slightly spongy texture, traditionally made of teff flour. In Ethiopia and Eritrea, injera is a staple. Injera is central to the dining process in Amhara community, like bread or rice elsewhere and is usually stored in the mesob.
