I ama former chef and have made it several time, it is like making any yeast bread, except it is a batter more than a dough, the Teff flour is available at Ethiopian grocerys stores if you have not got one close to you, a mix of whole wheat flour and buckwheat flour is the closest, although it is available on the internet. The batter is best made the night before and allowed to ferment on the counter overnight, with a piece of saran wrap over it.
Here in Toronto Canada, we have over the last few years had a number of east african communitys expand into the area, from Ethiopian and Somalia.
So with these communitys coming here, they have brought there tastey and exotic cuisine along with food stuffs from there homelands. I buy my berbere, teff flour, green coffee and other Ethiopian and East African seasonings in my local ethnic market in downtown Toronto.
Check the phone directory for the nearest African supermarket, alot of times if the community is small they will carry more products for a better variety.
