Plain butter or oil can be substituted in Ethiopian recipes if you don't have the time to make niter kibbeh, but something special will be missing."

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this niter kibbeh was surprisingly mild. The spices were perfectly balanced and didn't overpower the other flavors.
