Injera - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups whole wheat flour (a finely milled type such as chapati flour works well- you can also substitute buckwheat flour)
    1 cup unbleached white flour
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    3 cups club soda, plus more to thin if needed
Preparation
    Combine flour and baking soda in a large bowl.
    Add club soda, stir well to form a thin batter.
    Heat a large well-seasoned or non-stick griddle until hot. Brush lightly with oil or ghee.
    Using a large cup or ladle, begin on the outside of the griddle and pour in a circle around the inside edges until the center is filled. Quickly tilt the griddle back and forth to fill in any holes and spread evenly. As if making crepes.Cook for 1-2 minutes, until surface is spongy and filled with tiny air bubbles. Do not flip the bread - just slide off griddle onto a large plate. Continue cooking injera until batter is used, transferring them to the plate as they are done. Arrange them around the outside edges of the plate so that the centers overlap. Serve immediately with a meat or vegetable stew.
