How to make it

Make the batter. Mix the flour, salt and water into a batter.
Cook the flatbread. Cook it on a flat pita maker for more volume, or in a pan. Flip it once it's ready.
Tear it up. Tear the flatbread into small pieces by hand. If you like them crispy, heat the pieces a little longer.
Spice the kibbeh. Put niter kibbeh in a pan. Once it starts melting, add the berbere and mitmita, about 2 tablespoons of berbere to 1 of mitmita. Use more berbere than mitmita.
Mix in the flatbread. Add the torn pieces and mix until they are coated.
Serve. Drizzle with honey if you like.
