Trini-style soft pillows of fried bread sandwiching spiced chickpeas and served with a punchy cucumber chutney
Doubles are a delicious and popular Caribbean street food. They’re made up of two soft, puffy fried breads (or baras), hence the name doubles, stuffed with a filling of tasty chickpeas and eaten with chutney (cucumber, in today’s case). Unless you’ve tried them, however, it’s hard to do them justice – it’s a bit like telling someone who has never heard of Elton John that he’s a great pop star. So may I make a suggestion? Please stop by one of the UK’s many roti shops and order one (some?), then pop back here at a later date to make these.
