Steps:
- In a medium bowl , add flour, salt, yeast, turmeric, and sugar.
- Slowly add in warm water and mix to form a soft, mildly sticky dough. Rub the dough with olive oil and knead for about a minute. Allow the dough to rest for at least 2 hours. Then, divide the dough into 14 balls. Allow to rest for another hour.
- Put oil on a flat surface, oil your hands as well. Place the dough on the oiled surface, and form the dough into a 4-5 inches circle.
- Heat oil in a medium pot. On medium high heat, add in the dough and cook until golden brown. If the oil is hot enough this will take only a few seconds. Place the cooked dough, or bara, on a plate with a paper towel to soak up excess oil. Set aside.
- To make the channa, first add oil to a medium-sized pot. Add in onions, and thyme. Cook until onions are translucent.
- Add in all the dry spices. Cook for another few minutes. Then, add in cooked chickpeas, green onions, and scotch Bonnet. Cook for another 5-10 minutes. Add in chopped cilantro.
- Add in 1 cup (240 ml) of water, bringing the water to a boil. Allow the mixture to reduce to half, stirring constantly.
- Serve warm.
