Olive oil provides healthy fats.

In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt to taste, turmeric, cumin, and baking powder.

Add yeast directly into the dry mixture without blooming it in water.

Mix in split pea flour, ground garlic, and ground hot pepper.

Add frozen chopped spinach to the mixture.

Gradually add warm water until a very sticky dough forms, ensuring it's not too wet or too hard.

Beat the dough for about 2-3 minutes to aerate it and achieve a fluffy texture.

Cover the dough and let it rest for about 1-2 hours to puff up.

Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium to medium-high heat.

Take some dough, flatten it slightly, and carefully place it into the hot oil.

Fry for about 3 minutes until crispy and golden brown on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
