Directions
1. DOUGH: In a bowl, add yogurt, vegetable oil, yeast, baking powder and sugar. Using a spatula mix them well till everything combines.
2. In another bowl, break one egg and beat it till frothy. Pour it into the yogurt mixture and mix well.

MAKING
6. FILLING: In a pan, put vegetable oil and butter. Heat it till the butter melts. Remove it from heat. Add cinnamon powder, cardamom powder, nutmeg and powdered sugar. Stir to mix them well with the oil-butter mix.
7. Put the chopped walnuts and mix well till all are coated. Add the flour and continue mixing till it becomes doughy and thick without lumps.
8. On a working flat surface, sprinkle some flour. Put the prepared dough and spread it into a thick circle. Divide the circle into half.
9. Take one portion and roll it into a thin sheet and spread the walnut filling on it evenly.
10. Roll it tightly. Press the roll gently to flatten it a little. Using a pizza cutter or serrated cutter cut the roll into equal portions. Place them carefully on the prepared baking sheet.
