Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Knead until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes.

For the channa filling: Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened. Add garlic, ginger, and scotch bonnet pepper, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and garam masala. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until spices are fragrant.

Add the drained chickpeas and water. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chickpeas are tender and the sauce has thickened. Mash some of the chickpeas to create a creamier consistency.
