In a bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 packet of yeast.

In another bowl, mix 2 and 1/4 cups of flour with jira, saffron powder or turmeric, a pinch of salt, black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of curry powder, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder.

Add about half a tablespoon of oil to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Once the yeast is activated, add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and mix until combined.

Knead the dough for about 2 minutes until it is sticky, then coat the top with about half a tablespoon of oil.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise until doubled in size.

Once risen, flatten the dough slightly and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

Divide the dough into pieces, taking about 1 tablespoon for each, and roll them into balls.

Flatten each ball with your hand to make discs, ensuring they are even.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat.

Fry each disc in the hot oil for about 5 to 6 seconds on each side until they puff up and are golden brown.

Remove from oil and place on a bowl lined with napkins and parchment paper to keep warm.
