1
In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, curry powder and gheera.
2
In a separate small bowl place the warm water, sugar and yeast and set to sponge for 5 minutes.
3
To the flour, add the yeast mixture and enough water to make a slightly firm dough.
4
Mix well, cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise for 1 1/2 hours.
5
The dough should be punched down and allowed to sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
6
To shape the bara, take 1 tablespoon of the dough and flatten to a round, 4 or 5 inches in diameter.
NOTE: Pay particular attention to how thin, flat, and oily/sticky these rounds are. If your rounds are thicker, dryer or heavier than this they will -not- come out with the right texture
7
Use oil to moisten palms of your hands so that the dough wont stick to them :)
8
Fry the baras in hot oil until puffy (about 15 seconds per side), turn once and drain on kitchen paper
15
When all are cooked, fill with channa by placing a heaping tablespoon of the cooked filling on each bara, covering with another to form a sandwich.
