Kategna

Kategna is the simplest and most addictive Ethiopian snack, consisting of injera spread with a mixture of berbere and niter kibbeh, then toasted until crispy. Often served alongside the Ethiopian coffee ceremony or as an appetizer, this humble preparation transforms everyday ingredients into something irresistibly savory and crunchy.
