Combine the yeast mixture with the flour mixture and add milk and melted butter.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thin sheet.

Cut the dough into circles using a cutter or glass.

Place a spoonful of ground pistachios and almonds in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges tightly.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the filled dough until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon before serving.
