Ethiopian Chicken Stew

The last time I made Ethiopian Doro Wat it turned out rather well, but it took me forever to get the onions caramelized and I had to take a long shower because every bit of me including my hair smelled of onions. This happens to me with Indian cooking too, which is why I created the Onion Tomato Masala recipe in the pressure cooker.

So I figured I’d try making pressure cooker doro wat with the same principle, which is using the pressure cooker to do most of the hard work in caramelizing the onions.

It was a little concerning because I cooked the onions with very little water so that I wouldn’t have a goopy mess, but it actually worked. So trust me on the water proportions and give it a shot.

TWO IMPORTANT NOTES TO REMEMBER IN MAKING ETHIOPIAN DORO WAT:

Do not try making doro wat without making Niter Kibbeh and Berbere which are responsible for most of the flavor. If you don’t want to make them, buy good quality ones. Look at what’s in mine and match ingredients to that so you know you’re getting the rigt things.

The dish will appear watery as soon as it is done. It thickens on standing so plan your dinner time accordingly.
