In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, self-rising flour, yeast, turmeric, sugar, and salt.

Gradually add lukewarm water and knead until manageable, ensuring it's not too soft or too hard.

Transfer the dough to a table, sprinkle with dry flour, and continue kneading until it forms a ball shape.

Add a little oil to keep the dough soft and prevent crusting.

Divide the dough into small balls and stretch them out on an oiled counter.

Heat oil in a pan and fry the stretched dough until they puff up, flipping them twice until done.

For the chickpea curry, soak chickpeas overnight or use tinned chickpeas.

Chop spring onions, coriander, chili, garlic, and onions finely.

In a pan, heat oil and sauté the chopped ingredients with turmeric and cumin for about 4-5 minutes.

Add hot water to the pan, then add the chickpeas and more water, letting it boil for 35-45 minutes.

Season with salt to taste.

Prepare condiments: slice cucumber and have pepper sauce and tamarind sauce ready.

Assemble the dish by placing the barra, chickpea curry, and sauces together.
