Ingredients

2 large eggs

1 cup natural yogurt

3 tablespoons sugar

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 cup semolina (fine or medium)

Oil for frying

Instructions

. Prepare the Batter

In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs until smooth.

Add 1 cup yogurt and mix well.

Add 3 tbsp sugar, ½ tsp salt, and 1 tbsp baking powder. Stir until combined.

Add 1 cup semolina and mix to form a thick batter.

Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes so semolina absorbs moisture and softens.

2. Shape and Fry

Pour the batter into a freezer bag or piping bag and cut a small tip.

Heat oil in a pan on medium heat.

Pipe small round portions of batter into the hot oil to form discs.

Fry each side for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy.

Remove and place on paper towels to drain extra oil.

3. Serve

Serve warm for the best taste.
Enjoy with honey, powdered sugar, or yogurt!

How to Make It Perfect

This recipe is incredibly easy, but a few steps make all the difference:

Mix the eggs and yogurt thoroughly before adding semolina.

Let the batter rest so the texture becomes soft and workable.

Make sure the oil is hot (but not burning) for an even golden fry.

Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature.

Flip gently to prevent the discs from breaking.

Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the crisp outside and the soft, fluffy inside. Add honey, powdered sugar, or yogurt on top for extra flavor.

Recipe Variations

Savory Version

Skip the sugar.

Add chopped parsley, dill, or chives.

Mix in grated cheese for extra richness.
Perfect as a quick appetizer or side dish!

Sweet Version

Add vanilla, cinnamon, or cardamom to the batter.

Serve with fruit, chocolate sauce, or ice cream for a delightful dessert.

Healthier Option

Bake instead of frying.

Shape small rounds on a baking tray and bake until golden.
The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.

Tips for Best Results

If the batter feels too thick, add a splash of water or milk.

Use a spoon instead of a piping bag if needed—just keep the portions even.

Cook in small batches for even frying and better crispiness.

Serve immediately after frying for the best texture.

How to Store

These discs taste best fresh, but you can store leftovers:

In an airtight container for 1 day at room temperature

Reheat them in an air fryer or toaster oven to make them crispy again
