coconut milk

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides natural sweetness and moisture.

yeast

🥗Healthier: sourdough starter

💰Cheaper: baking powder

Sourdough adds flavor and can be made at home.

Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Add warm water and coconut milk to the dry ingredients.

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

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

Punch down the dough and knead in chopped onions, garlic, and spices.

Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them into discs.

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

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

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm, optionally with a spicy dipping sauce.
