Yep. I found a domestic supplier of both the grain and flour. And found
that it can be ordered in "Ivory" and "Brown". I've ordered a 5# bag of the
Ivory, and will see what happens when I get to work with that.

As Samartha had pointed out, pictures I've seen, and my fuzzy recollection
of several long-ago meals with it would seem to imply that it's a light
colored material, not unlike a tortilla.

In any event, I had lots of Siga Wot and Ethiopian Lentils left over, so
I've launched another batch of Injera, brown, for tonight...(:-o)! I can't
wait to enjoy it again!

FWIW; it was a big hit with the family. And as an additional benefit, the
fragrances from the Wot and Lentils suffusing throughout the house made
everybody ravenous for dinner...very nice!


Later all,
Dusty
