Injera (Ethiopian Flat Bread) Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 package dry yeast
2 1/2 cup water, warm
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Recipe
Preparation
Combine the flours and yeast in a ceramic or glass bowl. Add the warm
water and mix into a fairly thin, smooth batter.
Let the mixture sit for three full days at room temperature.
Stir the mixture once a day. It will bubble and rise. When you are
ready to make the injera, add the baking soda and salt and let the
batter sit for 10-15 minutes. Heat a small, nonstick 9-inch skillet.
When a drop of water bounces on the pan's surface, take about 1/3 cup
of the batter and pour it in the skillet quickly, all at once. Swirl
the pan so that the entire bottom is evenly coated, then return to
heat. The injera is cooked only on one side and the bottom should not
brown. When the moisture has evaporated and lots of "eyes" appear on
the surface, remove the injera. Let each injera cool and then stack
them as you go along. If the first injera is undercooked, try using
less of the mixture, perhaps 1/4 cup, and maybe cook it a bit longer.
Be sure not to overcook it. Injera should be soft and pliable so that
it can be rolled or folded, like a crepe.

Food Tips of the Week
A few tips on healthy eating
If you enjoy eating, but want to get in shape and improve your overall vitality, then, as most people know, you need to start a thoughtfully prepared well-balanced meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to contain 5 standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables daily and embrace the right proportion of food types.
The problems associated with low carb diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe for you?
Moreover, it has been hypothesised that the kidneys can come under too much strain and that the resultant change in acid levels in the blood can cause the loss of bone, but some of the scientific studies testing the hypothesis have struggled to find significant evidence of damage to the kidneys or loss of bone.
Many scientific studies over the years have proved that eating excess animal fats can result in greater risk of cancer, heart problems and other inflammatory disorders.
Foods containing lycopene
(includes apricots, red peppers & baby jackfruit)
Lycopene is a natural compound and one of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is behind the red color of quite a few fruits and vegetables.
Usefully, unlike numerous nutritional compounds, it does not become less effective if cooked but is observably increased in efficacy by the cooking process.
.
Lycoprene's main advantage is that it works as an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the fight to lower the chances of developing cancer.
Lycopene is the strongest quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with skin aging. It is also thought to impede the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
