Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Start by activating the yeast by mixing it with warm water and sugar. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast mixture, and yogurt. Mix well until a smooth dough forms.
3
Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until it becomes puffed and doubled in size.
5
Preheat the oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F. Once hot, add the dough and fry until it becomes golden brown and puffed.
6
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add the onions, ginger, and garlic and sauté until the onions become translucent.
7
Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, and spices to the saucepan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes become soft and the chickpeas are coated with the spices.
8
Add water to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chickpeas are tender.
