For a richer flavor, use clarified butter (ghee) instead of regular butter. Adjust the amount of berbere seasoning to your preference for spice level. Start with less and add more to taste. Serve with injera for an authentic Ethiopian experience. You can find injera at most Ethiopian restaurants or online. Pair with a side of Atkilt (Ethiopian cabbage and potato stew) or your favorite vegetable dish for a complete meal.
