Inqualal tibs is an egg dish made uniquely Ethiopian by the use of the berbere spice mix and the niter kibbeh spiced clarified butter. Inqualal tibs can be served as a main dish for breakfast or as a side dish as part of a communal platter for lunch or dinner. It is typically served with the traditional flatbread, injera, either on the side or together as a wrap. Ethiopian dishes like this one arrived in the United States with Ethiopian immigrants.
