Ingredients
3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
2 Tbs. melted butter
2/3 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup water
peanut oil for frying
Preparation
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and cumin.
Into the bowl stir the melted butter, yogurt and water until a dough forms.
Remove the dough to a floured surface and knead about 10 minutes.
Place the dough back into the bowl, cover and let rest 10 minutes.
In a large saute pan or wok, add a few inches of peanut oil and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 on a deep-fry thermometer.
Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/8-inch and cut out 2-inch rounds.
Carefully place the pieces into the oil (in batches) and deep-fry until golden.
