This look really nice. I will definitely try it. Thought I’d mention that the baking soda releases the skin from the chick peas. It’s usually done to get a smoother creamer humus in Middle East cooking

Matthew's Guyanese Cooking the channa came out looking and tasting perfect. The bears however, I had a wee bit difficulty in keeping it flat to put it to fry. It spread out great in the plate with the oil, but the transfer was my down fall. I shall try it again though.

I usually kneed the dough first because it has to rise so while you're cooking the channa you can let it sit covered.

Nice recipe but because you have hairy hands. I feel you should have wore fitted gloves so the hair from your hand won't get into the dough.

[@harrietallen9706]

Your videos are great I’ve tried some of the recipes and it turned out great, thanks for sharing. Why is there so much hair on your hands? My mom wouldn’t eat anything you cook because of all that hair. Try some hair removal cream or shave it off. I don’t wish to offend you but all that hair is yucky to me.
