Doubles is a street food and is made of two baras and channa (chick peas) sold with toppings and wrapped in paper. If you are eating it on the spot, the vendor gives it to you unwrapped and a napkin is placed under the paper. The toppings varies from one doubles vendor to the other. The variety of toppings ranges from cucumber, mango sauce, tamarind, coconut chutney, pepper sauce and chadon beni sauce. Vendors usually ask customers how much pepper, I recommend that you say 'slight', however, if you like very spicy food then you can request 'heavy pepper.' The bara is relatively standard in that it could be described as a fried flat bread, the size ranges with each vendor, some offer very large baras and some vendors sell a smaller size. I know of one doubles vendor who sells regular as well as wholewheat baras. One can also request a triple and receive three baras as opposed to two.
