Preparation
Corn Stock: Put all ingredients in a large pot, and cover with water. Bring to boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 2 hours, then strain stock.
Mango Cucumber Chutney: Place habaneros, garlic, brown sugar, and lime juice in a bowl and mix together. Add cucumbers, mango, scallions, and cilantro. Mix together and season to taste.
Curried Chickpeas Heat oil in a saute pan. Sweat onions, ginger, and garlic. Bloom the cumin, curry powder, coriander, and paprika in the pan. Next add chickpeas and corn stock. Simmer for about 30-45 minutes. Lightly buzz the chickpeas with an immursion blender to thicken. Add the parsley, cilantro, thyme and scallion and salt to finish. It should be a stew like consistancy.
Spicy Flatbread: In a bowl combine flour, all spices, salt, sugar, and yeast. Gradually add the water, and continue mixing until soft dough forms. Remove dough from the mixing bowl to a floured surface, add more flour if too wet. Knead 2 minutes and place in oiled bowl. Cover and store until it doubles in size, about 90 min. Break down into 3 ounce portions. Roll each out flat, on a floured surface about 1/4" thick. Fry in vegetable oil until puffed and golden. 20-30 seconds per side.
Doubles: Slice bread in half, fill the bread pocket with curried chickpeas, and top with the mango cucumber chutney.
