Whilst Injera is the famous <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/ethiopian-foods\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"63004\">Ethiopian food<\/a> and method of eating; this is the Somali version and is also a staple in <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/djiboutian-cuisine-11-must-try-traditional-dishes-from-djibouti\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"73993\">Djibouti<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/yemeni-foods\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"67517\">Yemen<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/israeli-food\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"64947\">Israel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canjeero and injera do have a lot of similarities, however. Both are a fermented, pancake-like bread eaten as the base of the dish with other ingredients added on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are also made with the same ingredients i.e. sorghum flour, baking powder, yeast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are some key differences to note. Canjeero is smaller, the taste is less sour, and it is only fermented for one day whereas injera is larger and usually fermented for a couple of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially what is considered to be a pancake in the Western world is the basis of most dishes and entire cuisines in parts of Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canjeero is the most common breakfast food in <a href=\"\/africa\/somalia\">Somalia<\/a> and Somalians typically eat around 3 or 4&nbsp; for breakfast, often accompanied by a cup of tea. It is commonly served drizzled with butter or ghee, and sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also often eaten for lunch or dinner, usually accompanied by a curry, meat stew (maraq), soup, or liver and onions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way&nbsp;canjeero is eaten is with some sliced meat, garlic, onion, cumin and pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Somalia they will cook the pancake on a tava which is a circular, disc stove used frequently just for cooking canjeero. However, since most Westerners are unlikely to have a tava lying around, a conventional pan will suffice for making this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mv-recipe\"><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Recipe\",\"name\":\"Canjeero\\\/Anjero Recipe (Somali Injera)\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Travel Food Atlas\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-08-26\",\"recipeYield\":4,\"description\":\"This canjeero recipe (also called anjero, canjeelo, lahoh or laxoox) is the delicious Somalian version of the Ethiopian Injera dish which is a pancake-like staple\\ufeff\",\"image\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/travelfoodatlas.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/10\\\/Canjeero-1-320x320.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/travelfoodatlas.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/10\\\/Canjeero-1-320x240.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/travelfoodatlas.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/10\\\/Canjeero-1.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/travelfoodatlas.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/10\\\/Canjeero-1-480x270.jpg\"],\"recipeCuisine\":\"Somali\",\"prepTime\":\"PT10M\",\"cookTime\":\"PT5M\",\"performTime\":\"PT5M\",\"totalTime\":\"PT15M\",\"recipeIngredient\":[\"1 cup white corn flour\",\"\\u00bd cup sorghum flour\",\"1 Tbsp Instant dry yeast\",\"4 cups self-raising flour\",\"\\u00bc cup sugar\",\"1 tsp salt\",\"4 cups lukewarm water\"],\"recipeInstructions\":[{\"@type\":\"HowToStep\",\"text\":\"In a large bowl, mix the white corn meal, sorghum flour, yeast and half of the water, making sure it is properly combined.
