Soak 3 pounds of chickpeas overnight in water.

Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas.

Boil the chickpeas in fresh water until tender, about 30 minutes.

Season the chickpeas with 2 heaping tablespoons of all-purpose seasoning, 1 tablespoon of saffron powder, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 2.5 tablespoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of ham jira, and 2.5 tablespoons of curry powder.

Prepare 3 pounds of shrimp by cleaning and deveining them, then season with 1 tablespoon of wallpaper seasoning, 1/2 tablespoon of salt, green seasoning, and onion.

Fry the shrimp with curry until cooked through, being careful not to overcook them.

Roast one side of a scotch bonnet pepper until charred, then blend it with roasted garlic and a little oil.

In a bowl, combine flour and water to make a batter, ensuring it is not too thick but somewhat watery.

Mix in some oil to the batter to prevent sticking.

Blend the roasted coconut with a little water and salt to create a chutney.

Assemble the doubles by placing a spoonful of chickpea filling between two pieces of fried dough.
