coconut milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + coconut extract

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining a similar flavor.

flour

🥗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, including sesame seeds and black cumin seeds.

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.
