Mix all-purpose flour, semolina, and salt in a large bowl.

Combine yogurt and water in a separate bowl, then add to the flour mixture.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 2 hours.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into balls.

Roll each ball into a thick disc, about 6 inches in diameter.

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

Carefully slide one disc into the hot oil, frying until it puffs up, about 30-40 seconds.

Flip and fry the other side until golden brown, about 30 seconds more.

Remove and drain on paper towels, then repeat with remaining discs.
