How to make Doubles
- Soak 200 g of chickpeas overnight in water. Drain and cook them until tender, about 1 hour.

- To the mashed chickpeas, add 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of coriander, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine 250 g of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add water to the flour mixture, working it until a smooth dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 8 small balls and roll each into flat discs about 10 cm in diameter.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook each disc for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Fill each flatbread with the chickpea mixture and drizzle with 100 ml of coconut milk before serving.
