''[[Wat (food)|Wat]]'' begins with a large amount of chopped red [[onion]], which is simmered or sauteed in a pot. Once the onions have softened, ''[[niter kebbeh]]'' (or, in the case of vegan dishes, [[vegetable oil]]) is added. Following this, ''berbere'' is added to make a spicy ''keiy wat'' or ''keyyih tsebhi''. [[Turmeric]] is used instead of ''berbere'' for a milder ''alicha wat'' or both spices are omitted when making vegetable stews, such as ''atkilt wat''. Meat such as [[beef]] (''ሥጋ'',<ref>Selam Soft, [http://www.amharicdictionary.com/index.aspx?word=ሥጋ "ሥጋ"], ''Amharic-English Dictionary'', 4/30/13</ref> ''səga''), [[Chicken (food)|chicken]] (''ዶሮ'',<ref>Selam Soft, [http://www.amharicdictionary.com/index.aspx?word=ዶሮ "ዶሮ"], ''Amharic-English Dictionary'', 4/30/13</ref> ''doro'' or ''derho''), [[Fish (food)|fish]] (''ዓሣ'',<ref>Selam Soft, [http://www.amharicdictionary.com/index.aspx?word=ዓሣ "ዓሣ"], ''Amharic-English Dictionary'', 4/30/13</ref> ''asa''), [[Goat meat|goat]] or [[Lamb and mutton|lamb]] (''በግ'',<ref>Selam Soft, [http://www.amharicdictionary.com/index.aspx?word=በግ "'በግ]'', ''Amharic-English Dictionary', 4/30/13</ref> ''beg'' or ''beggi'') is also added. [[Legume]]s such as [[split pea]]s (''ክክ'',<ref>Selam Soft, [http://www.amharicdictionary.com/index.aspx?word=ክክ "ክክ"], ''Amharic-English Dictionary'', 4/30/13</ref> ''kək''  or ''kikki'') and [[lentil]]s (''ምስር'',<ref>Selam Soft, [http://www.amharicdictionary.com/index.aspx?word=ምስር "ምስር"], ''Amharic-English Dictionary'', 4/30/13</ref> ''məsər'' or ''birsin''); or [[vegetable]]s such as [[potato]]es (''ድንች'',<ref>Selam Soft, [http://www.amharicdictionary.com/index.aspx?word=ድንች "ድንች"], ''Amharic-English Dictionary'', 4/30/13</ref> ''Dənəch''), [[carrot]]s and [[chard]] (ቆስጣ) are also used instead in vegan dishes.

Each variation is named by appending the main ingredient to the type of ''wat'' (e.g. {{transliteration|am|kek alicha wat}}). However, the word ''keiy'' is usually not necessary, as the spicy variety is assumed when it is omitted (e.g. ''doro wat''). The term {{transliteration|am|atkilt wat}} which simply means 'vegetable' is sometimes used to refer to all vegetable dishes, but a more specific name can also be used (as in {{transliteration|am|dinich'na caroht wat}}, which translates to "potatoes and carrots stew"; but the word ''atkilt'' is usually omitted when using the more specific term).
