coconut oil
🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: ketchup

Add flour, salt, and baking powder to a bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix yeast and sugar with warm water to activate the yeast.
Once the yeast mixture is dissolved, gradually add it to the flour mixture to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth.
Let the dough rest until it has doubled in size.
Prepare the fish by rinsing and cutting it into pieces, then season with green seasoning and salt.
Set the seasoned fish aside to marinate.
Coat the marinated fish in flour.
Heat vegetable oil until hot and fry the fish until golden brown, turning regularly to avoid drying out.
Once the dough has risen, divide it into four portions and let it prove for another 30 minutes.
Press out each dough piece to flatten it.
Fry the flattened dough in hot vegetable oil until golden brown, turning regularly for even cooking.
Cut the fried dough open while hot to fill it.
Assemble the bake by adding lettuce, cucumber, onions, tomatoes, fried fish, and chutneys.
