Soak chickpeas overnight in water.

Drain and rinse chickpeas, then boil in fresh water until tender, about 1 hour.

Mash boiled chickpeas with curry powder, turmeric, and salt until smooth.

In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add water gradually to the flour mixture to form a soft dough.

Divide dough into small balls and flatten them into discs.

Heat water in a pot to boiling and gently drop in the discs, cooking until they puff up, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the chutney by blending onion, garlic, pepper, and lime juice until smooth.

Assemble by placing mashed chickpeas on a disc, topping with chutney, and adding cucumber and cilantro.
