I literally saw big people in this business did, their videos & it's the worst... Congratulations on a job well done my Dear & thank you kindly for sharing your recipe with us.. 🥰
The tip with the dhal was shared by my great grand mother to my mom which I shared with you. Giving credit where credit is due is important ❤
Like You really had to let people know You shared that Dhal idea with her ... Lol ... Guess where I learnt about the Dhal Idea? From a Guy who is from Tobago ...
That trick with the dhal gives it the "doubles channa" taste. Tried it and loved it! No turning back from this recipe. Just saved it. It is the bess. Even smells like channa made for doubles. Yum. Delish! Thanks sooo much!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it hun! You're right the dhal makes all the difference! Hope you have a blessed day! ❤❤❤
@@ShesMakinDough same to you. My picky four year old son is loving your channa and bara recipe right now! 😁
@@Kalrenecarol aww that's awesome!!
My first time making this and it came out so good and tasty. It cooked so fast too. I used a half cup of dried chick peas and I was surprised how quick they broke down with that baking soda trick. Nice lil pot of rice and my lil baby and me had a nice dinner. Thanks for sharing!
Nah man that's canadian 🤣 😂 or American not trini.
I tried this last week and since then I've been sharing this recipe with all my family because it's so gooood..thnx for this
I've tried other recipes as well as this one. They are great. The one thing I love about yours is that it is fast and simple. It taste great and family approved! I have used this for over a year and will continue. Thanks 😊
Made this 3mnths ago following this recipe....going to make it again using this recipe again because it came out delicious....
I tried this recipe yesterday and let me tell you it came out perfect, the taste was amazing and everyone loved it. Thank you so much
Thanks for this recipe!! I've always wanted to taste doubles...I have friends that lived in Trinidad and they always spoke about how it was the best "street food". I'm from the Bahamas, so I'm not new to these flavours and spices. Thanks for this recipe...I made it today and the pot was empty in mins. It was awesome. I didn't have just cilantro, so I added a tbsp of homemade green seasoning I had in the fridge.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! it is a favorite in Trinidad, and the green seasoning is a perfect substitute for the cilantro! thanks for watching, love your youtube name as well!
Thank you much! :-) Definitely this recipe will be a keeper.
Walk
Darlin... Don't take on nobody... This is the way the older folks used to make doubles in Trinidad.. Well with the yellow dhal..but it's all good u go girrrrl
Isabelle Marconi thank you for the words of encouragement hun! Very much appreciated! I must say too the older folks have some of the best hand when it comes to cooking! 💜
Home Cooking so true..!
Yes exactly my grand father used to add dhal to his channa as well. He used to sell doubles in Trinidad when I was growing up. The younger generation don't know about this.

Whats the purpose of the baking soda? And if i dont have can i use baking powder?
The baking soda does a few things. With baking soda, the chick peas become nice and soft with less cooking time. It also releases a froth from the chick peas giving them a cleaner taste. Lastly the baking soda does give it a slightly different flavor.
With that being said, if you dont have any baking soda its ok. You may have to boil it a little longer to get the right softness but will still taste good.
I love doubles it's one of my favorite Indian street food.i can make it delicious & satisfying to make well done 👍👌🍻😇👏🙋🙌I am a big fan of yours i will give you a 💯✋💓🌹💘💝💖💑😉💦💫up good job.
Aww thank you so much!! I appreciate it so much hun! ❤❤❤
My goal in life is to marry a girl that knows how to make doubles. I am a Trini only by proxy but God damn I'm sure I love doubles more than most Trinis. Shout out to my fav double truck in Sangre Grande bus depot!
Any Indians here, getting confused - it's our dish only. Happy to see some other culture appreciating it
I'm an Indian as well.............
I love this recipe so trying this
Karfeisha Olyia I hope you enjoy hun!
nice recipe including the bara. tasted great
thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi where can I get the bara recipe
@@ShesMakinDough hi where can I get your bara recipe
Not a Trinidadian accent. Are you?
she sounds like my cousin who lives in NYC. ...my cousin was born in Trinidad but grew up in NYC but still follows her Trinidadian tradition. so maybe it's the same with this girl.
@@caribbeanparadise1315 Possible
Nice video, i love doubles
Looks amazing
Just found your recipe, is the 1/2 cup of daal in the ingredients dried? I saw that you boiled a lot of it but only added a spoonful to the Chana. Is it a half cup of mushed daal to add or do you add all? Thanks!
1/2 half mashed up
@@ShesMakinDough okay thanks!
Thanks for you time and for sharing. Love from t&t
I tried this..total perfection..😍
Onike Cauldero so glad you enjoyed it!
Home Cooking yup..ill be doing this again this weekend..lol..will b boycotting vendors, cuz this recipe u posted is golden!!!!
Onike Cauldero really I have been watching TV video n scared to make it but it looks so good I was tried everything besides the dhal cause other videos didn't use dhal but didn't like it should of tried your way I feel these vendors in Trini tried this method cause no way my method look like this her method looks like them real doubles people in Trinidad am gonna try this dhal
@@shaniajones4923 i tried it using dhal jus as thus recipe said. I had no idea that was used. Im thinking its the secret ingredient that the vendors use as it is the right consistency. I made it previously without dhal..( it wasnt as good..lol)
Onike Cauldero lol so true I feel it's there secret ingredient also am gonna try it this week n see I did it today also without the dhal n I was like but something wrong it needed a kick feel that kick is really the dhal lolzzz
U can use split pea powder also easier
Love this recipe.
Shareen Gonzalez thanks for watching hun! 💜
Trying this recipe right now...
I hope you enjoy it! Let me know how it goes! ❤
yesss looks so goooood
LitGeekSquad Official thanks! it's one of my favs!
Finally a Trini cooking vid where the person can actually speak intelligently and uses the correct words to describe the ingredients. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
What is the purpose of the dhal and is it traditionally added to the chana?
Judith Legendre to me the dhal is necessary, it really gives the channa that distinct doubles channa flavor. I know that traditionally they did add it to the doubles
Where was this doubles recipe hiding?
Thank you.
Yum!.
Nice!!!!!
@Home Cooking Please tell me the wight per one tin of chick peas which you used in this recipe. Because there is one tin which weighing 29 oz/822g, OR 15 oz/425g, It makes a big difference dear.
15 oz tins. Usually the only size tin I can find
@@ShesMakinDough perfect! Thank you very much!
Love it 😍 thanks
CeeCee Pollidore thanks for watching hun! 💜 💜
nice will try this soon
n lallge hope you enjoy!
Hi dear how do u kneed your flour for your bara BTW your channa looks delicious
Thank you! ❤ no I don't knead it..I have the recipe for the Bara where you able to find it?
Thanks for sharing!! Will try this very soon
FineartAndBeauty no problem!! I hope you enjoy thanks for watching! 💜
FineartAndBeaut
I've just got a quick question. Do we need baking soda for the channa?
Kayy it adds flavor to the channa, like the channa you get from doubles is different from channa and aloo, also it helps tenderize it
I really need to try this with the dhal I made it today but didn't use dhal I should of try this method I really feel these doubles people in Trinidad use this method anyone tried this method yet
Shania Jones my great grandmother told my mom this tip for making doubles. They used to make it long ago like this and it's the best.
Home Cooking yeah I was finding out about it n a lot of people say long time they used to make it so n a lot of people does use it as there secret ingredient thank u so much for sharing
good job looks. yummy
thanks hun!
Making this right now...
Hope you enjoy!
@@ShesMakinDough I did and I'm back to make more❤
Very nice
Can the ground split peas powder be substituted in this?
@gracerampartap9676 I never tried it but I'm sure it would work perfectly
@@ShesMakinDough thank you very much, I will try it! 🤗
What was the reason for baking soda?
Did you say you used 2 cans of Chick peas? If so, did you remove the hull/skin before using them?
MzJill0329 I used two cans I don't remove them ☺
Home Cooking ok thanks
I'm trying this but I'll turn mine into soup
Where do I find the recipe? She said the description box but I don’t know where that is. Thanks!
Melissa Lento all the amounts were said while making but I will place the amount below the video
My channa came out delicious
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it hun! ❤
How am I preparing the dhal
Karissa Jaimungal just boil in some water with a couple small cloves of garlic, no saffron needed for it.
When sodium bicarbonate is added to water, it transforms into carbonic acid, and the carbonic acid then breaks down immediately into carbon dioxide and water. All you're left with is sodium ions, which doesn't change the pH at all. I'm struggling to figure out how the addition of baking soda does anything at all. (I can see that it does, but I'm wondering what the actual mechanism is...)
Flavor and helps break down the channa a little bit...mostly the flavor of the channa
Believe it or not you need it for the flavor. Without it there is a huge difference. Atleast to me
App how much cups is 2 tins of channa?
What's a good substitute for the geera powder?
If you can find ground cumin..they're pretty much the same except this is roasted
.cumin is much easier to find
That looks amazing.
Natasha charles thank you beautiful!
Do anyone knows how do you call Dhal in Spanish? I really want to make it but can't find it by the right name 😢
It's yellow split peas, chicharos amarillos paratidos
Hi, Can you type up the recipe? Like you did for the Bara?
Jen Halpin I'll try and do that for as soon as I can ❤
