Ingredients
Method
To make the bara, combine the flour, turmeric, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add the warm water, mixing to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rise for about 1 hour.
To make the channa, heat a small amount of oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened.
Add the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin to the pot and stir well. Add the chickpeas and water. Simmer until the chickpeas are tender and the liquid has reduced to a thick sauce. Season with salt to taste.
Heat a large amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Divide the dough into small balls and flatten into discs. Fry each disc until puffed and golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
To serve, place a spoonful of the channa between two bara. Enjoy hot.
