In this German adaptation, the traditional Ethiopian spices used in Inguday Tibs are replaced with German spices such as paprika and caraway seeds. The dish also incorporates German cooking techniques, such as sautéing the mushrooms with onions and garlic. Additionally, the original dish typically includes injera, a traditional Ethiopian flatbread, which is substituted with German bread or served alongside a bed of German-style potatoes.
