Can I use stale injera for Dirkosh?

Yes, Dirkosh is an excellent way to use up injera that's a day or two old and has started to dry out slightly.

What if my Dirkosh isn't crispy?

It likely needs more time in the oven. Continue baking at a low temperature until fully dried out and crisp.

Can I make this without oil?

While oil helps with crispiness and flavor adherence, you could try a very light spray of cooking oil or omit it for a drier, less rich chip. The texture will be different.

Where can I buy injera?

Look for injera at Ethiopian or Eritrean restaurants, specialty African grocery stores, or sometimes in the international aisle of larger supermarkets.

What can I serve with Dirkosh?

Dirkosh is fantastic on its own, but it truly shines with a spicy dip like Kochkocha (Yekarya Delleh) or even a simple hummus or avocado dip.
