Doubles are a popular street food in Trinidad and Tobago and they are now available in London
Doubles are topped with fresh, grated cucumber and drizzled with hot pepper sauce, tamarind sauce and mango chutney
Londoners can experience Chef Sham Mahabir's take on the celebrated vegan street food
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, May 21, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This moreish, vegan street snack is sold on every street corner in Trinidad. Chef Sham Mahabir, a native Trinidadian and owner of LIMIN SOUTHBANK, is on a mission to introduce Londoners to this unofficial national dish of his native island.
Mahabir started International Doubles Day in 2018 and Trinis living in London have celebrated it every year on the 30th of May.
Doubles are made of two (hence the name) fluffy, golden-fried flatbreads called ‘bara’ and curried chickpea filling called ‘chana’. They’re topped with fresh, grated cucumber and drizzled with hot pepper sauce, tamarind sauce and mango chutney.
This year, Mahabir will host the major celebrations at LIMIN SOUTHBANK on Bank Holiday Sunday, the 26th of May, and on the official International Doubles Day, the 30th.
Sunday the 26th promises a full day of Caribbean festivities with a live singer, DJ, ‘tassa’ Indian drumming, and plenty of Mahabir’s famous doubles at 50% off.
International Doubles Day is celebrated around the world on 30th May every year.
