Trinidadian Doubles is a popular street food and comfort dish from Trinidad and Tobago, beloved for its bold flavors and simplicity. It consists of two main components: 1. Bara: This is a soft, fried flatbread made from a dough of flour, yeast, turmeric (for its yellow color), and other seasonings. The bara is light, airy, and slightly chewy, forming the base of the dish. 2. Channa: This is a flavorful curried chickpea filling. The chickpeas are cooked until tender in a rich, spicy curry sauce with ingredients like garlic, cumin (geera), turmeric, and pepper. Doubles is widely enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or as a snack, and it is deeply ingrained in Trinidadian culture. It’s inexpensive, filling, and an iconic example of the island’s Indian-Caribbean fusion cuisine.
