*Pour the Teff flour in a bowl and add in the water. Mix with a whisk till batter is smooth

*Cover the bowl (with the batter) with a plastic wrap. Make sure the plastic does not touch the batter.

*Leave bowl covered in room temperature for 24 hours.

*After 24 hours, remove the plastic cover, if there’s water on top of the mixture, pour it out until the batter starts mixing with the water, then stop.
