Mix sorghum flour and plain wheat flour with water, salt, and yeast in a bowl until smooth.

Let the mixture rest for 1-2 hours to ferment.

Preheat a griddle or flat pan over medium heat.

Grease the pan lightly with oil to prevent sticking.

Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the hot pan, spreading it evenly.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 3-4 minutes.

Flip the kisra and cook for another 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.

Remove from the pan and keep warm while cooking the remaining kisra.

Serve kisra with various stews or dips.
