When I eat doubles in Trinidad never the chana looks like it taking a swim in the river or beach it suppose to be firm so you can hold it properly while eating not causing you to wear the doubles

[@carmenarjoon6729]

You had me lol!!!! The channa is never firm, it's neither too runny or thick, this looks good. Be nice!!!
