XABREAKFAST FROM AROUND THE WORLD 🌍
Welcome to my new series, where I’ll be showing you everything about the world of breakfast. This is part 2 and today we’re taking a trip to the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹, to make a classic dish, called Doubles. An iconic Trini street food dish, which involves curried chickpeas over fried bread, served with sauces & chutneys. A real treat, I’ve put the full recipe below !
Start by making the curried chickpeas, by placing the soaked chickpeas in a pot of 4 cups of cold water. Bring to a rigourous boil for 10 minutes, scooping off any scum that rises to the top. Then cover and simmer on a low heat for 45 minutes.
Make the dough by combining all the ingredients except the water and mix very well. Now slowly add the water, mixing as you go, until you form a dough. Start to knead for 5-10 minutes, then shape into a circle, drizzle with oil, cover and allow to rest for 1 hour.
10 minutes before the chickpeas are cooked, heat up a frying pan on a medium heat. Add the ghee, then followed by the cumin & coriander seeds. Bloom for 30 seconds, then add the minced garlic, ginger & chilli. Cook for 1 minute, then add the whole spices and bloom for a further minute. Now add the green seasoning and cook for a few minutes, then add to the chickpea pot and allow to cook for a further 15-20 minutes. Mash 1/4 of the peas to help thicken the curry.
Now shape the dough into 8 equal sized balls, then let proof for a further 15 minutes. Now spread the dough into flat circles, add to hot oil and fry for 20s-30s until lightly puffy and cooked through. Now serve altogether.
