Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

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

Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions.

Roll each portion into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

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

Fry each dough circle until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and cumin seeds while still warm.

Serve warm with tea or as a side dish.
