How to Make YeGebs Atmit (Step-by-Step Tutorial)
- In a medium pot, whisk the atmit duket into the water until a smooth mixture is formed.
- Place the pot over low heat and stir in the honey. Cook the mixture until it reaches a thickness similar to that of a smoothie. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add the optional milk and mix again.
- If using, stir in the kibe (clarified butter) and continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for an additional 5 minutes. This step is to warm through and combine the flavors.
- Once the atmit duket porridge is heated through and the flavors are well incorporated, you can adjust the consistency by adding more water or milk if desired.
- Serve the Ethiopian atmit duket porridge immediately, either on its own or with additional toppings if desired.
