  1. 1

    Mix yoghurt and oil and add 2 eggwhites. Salt lightly. Mix flour and baking powder and add to liquids.

  2. 2

    Mix until a rather soft dough forms. Crumble feta and add chopped parsley (or mint). Form balls (bit larger than a golf ball) out of the dough.

  3. 3

    Flatten dough and place one teaspoons of filling in the middle. Close dough around filling and try to put back into dough shape (roll around between your palms).

  4. 4

    Place balls on a baking tray and brush with egg yolk. Sprinkle with black cumin and bake at 180°C-200°C until crispy brown.
