Yes, this is accurate. I tried to make Injera some ten years ago, and
didn't wait long enough for it to sour - it didn't rise at all! I
chickened out and followed a cheaters' recipe that called for Carbonated
Water and some Baking Soda. It looked authentic, but didn't have the
tang. Fastforward ten years, and I recently started making sourdough
from local organisms, so I had a flashback to my initial, failed
Injera-making attempt...

You can make this with a mix of All-Purpose and a bit of Bread Flour,
but Teff is the original grain used (I can get it at my local health
food store). I'll give it a try in a week or two and post my results.
