How to Make Trini Doubles Caribbean Fried Dough And Chickpea Sandwiches
- **Prepare the Dough:**
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast. Let stand until foamy (about 5-10 minutes).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gradually add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients, adding about 1/2 cup lukewarm water as needed until a slightly firm dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- **Prepare the Chickpea Filling:**
- If using dried chickpeas, soak 1 cup dried chickpeas overnight. Drain and place in a pot with 6 cups fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, or until tender. Drain and set aside.
- If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse 2 (15-ounce) cans of chickpeas well.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons curry powder and cook for 30 seconds. Add 1/4 cup water, stir, and then add the chickpeas.
- Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the lid, add 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon cumin, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer until chickpeas are very tender (about 10-15 minutes).
- **Assemble the Doubles:**
- Punch down the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Pinch off walnut-sized pieces of dough and roll each into a 4 1/2-inch circle.
- Heat about 1 cup canola oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep skillet or pot. Test by dropping in a small piece of dough; it should sizzle immediately.
- Fry the dough circles for about 40 seconds per side, or until lightly browned.
- Place 2 tablespoons of the chickpea filling onto each fried dough. Top with your favorite chutneys (kuchela, pepper sauce), and cucumber slices, if desired.
- Top with another piece of fried dough.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
