Sour cream is more accessible and adds creaminess.

Soak 1 cup and 3/4 of chickpeas overnight in water, changing the water twice.

In a bowl, combine soaked chickpeas, 1 tablespoon crushed garlic, 1/2 teaspoon garlic chili sauce, 1/2 cup chopped onions, and 1 tablespoon green seasoning. Do not add salt yet.

Pressure cook the chickpeas without salt until soft, about 8 minutes, checking for softness and adding more time if needed.

After cooking, use a potato masher to mash some of the chickpeas, leaving some whole. Add salt and 1 teaspoon cumin, along with 1 tablespoon of green seasoning, and stir to combine.

In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon yeast, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Add lukewarm water gradually to the dry ingredients to form a dough. Cover with a damp paper towel and let rise for 1 hour, applying 1 teaspoon of coconut oil on top to keep it moist.

After the dough has risen, pinch out some balls and oil your hands and the surface to prevent sticking. Flatten each ball as thin as possible.

Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the flattened dough until golden brown, flipping quickly as they fry.
