Combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, brown sugar, saffron, salt, and green seasoning in a bowl.

Add warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until the consistency is slightly liquid but not fully liquid or too solid.

Cover the mixture with a damp cloth and let it sit for about an hour and a half until it doubles in size.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan until hot.

Use two spoons to drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil.

Monitor the heat to ensure even cooking, turning the mixture as needed until golden brown.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
