Master the Art of Making DOUBLES with My Recipe!

Bandhania/Chadon Beni Chutney: coming soon
Roasted Pepper Sauce: coming soon

Bara (Flatbread, Bhatura):
This amount yields 35-40 baras depending on the size you make them.

• 4 cups of All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tsps salt
• 1 teaspoon of INSTANT/RAPID RISE Yeast
• 2 teaspoons of Sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon of Turmeric
• 2 ½- 3 cups of Lukewarm Water (must be warm for the yeast to work)
The amount of water needed varies based on the humidity of the environment.
• 2 tablespoons of Oil + more for frying.
*Always store bara dough in a warm place (oven, microwave, kitchen counter etc.)

Channa (Chole, Garbanzo Beans, Gram, Chickpeas):

• 3 cups of Dried Channa (Kabuli) +, 1/2 cup of Yellow Split Peas soaked in 5 cups of water and 2 teaspoons of baking soda
• 1 ½ teaspoons of Baking Soda (initial boil)
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda + ½ cup of Green Seasoning + ½ teaspoon Turmeric + 1 ½ teaspoon Roasted Ground Geera (Cumin) + Salt

Pressure cook soaked channa in 4 cups of water for 20 minutes or 50 minutes if it wasn’t soaked.
After it is pressure cooked and the liquid dries out, add 3 cups more water.

* Baking soda tenderizes the channa, melts the skin and it also gives the channa that distinct doubles flavor. That’s the reason for adding it in layers.

Wrap baras in paper towel or tea towel and foil and store in a freezer bag or airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in a wet/damp paper towel

Reheat baras in the oven also. Wrap tightly in foil and place in the oven at 350F for 10-12 mins.

You kill it EVERY SINGLE I watching you cook!! You should have been a chef! You cook with so much love in your food and for your culture. There are many Trinidadian people on social media cooking, but your food is so tasty(I’ve made a couple of your dishes, and I don’t cook without that green seasoning!) and you put your whole heart in your cooking, and sharing in your memories of watching your mom and other family members cook. I think that’s what makes you so good and sets you apart from the rest. Keep doing what you’re doing, and I love seeing you with your family!!Stay Healthy and Blessed!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
