A flavorful Caribbean-inspired dish featuring spiced chickpeas served on golden fried dough.
Combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl and let it sit until bubbly.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast.
Mix the flour, turmeric, cumin, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the yeast mixture and knead into a smooth dough.
Knead the dough until it is elastic and smooth for the best texture.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth to prevent the dough from drying out.
Heat oil in a skillet and sauté the onion until translucent. Add garlic and curry powder, cooking briefly.
Stir constantly to prevent the spices from burning.
Add the chickpeas and a splash of water, simmering until tender. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper.
Mash some chickpeas slightly to create a thicker texture.
Divide the dough into small balls, flatten into circles, and fry in hot oil until golden.
Ensure the oil is hot enough to prevent the dough from absorbing too much oil.
Assemble by placing chickpeas on fried dough, adding cucumber slices and hot sauce, and topping with another piece of dough.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
