Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.
Step 2
Add minced garlic, ginger, and chili. Cook 60 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Step 3
Pour in water and bring to a boil. Whisk in chickpea flour slowly, breaking up lumps with the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in berbere, salt, and pepper. Simmer 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened and fragrant.
Step 5
The stew should be creamy and coat the back of a spoon. If too thick, thin with a splash of water. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Step 6
Serve hot over injera or with flatbread on the side. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil on top if desired.
