🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free needs, swap the yogurt sauce for a plain unsweetened plant-based yogurt or a lemon-tahini drizzle. For a milder, nightshade-free version, replace the berbere with a gentle blend of cumin, coriander, and smoked paprika, and use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock if needed.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp cucumber-tomato salad or simple roasted carrots to balance the spice and add freshness. Warm flatbread, if gluten is not a concern, works well for scooping up the saucy rice and chicken.
