Wat or Wet in Ethiopian language is the same as  "tsebhi" in Tegrinya of Eritrea. It is a stew. What type of stew is tajta? What is the English name, and then you might find the recipe under the Ethiopian links and Wat or Wet recipes.

You could check on my Ethiopian recipe link list. Eritrea is close to Ethiopia and i think it used to be a part of Ethiopia.
