Mix all the ingredients for the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
After resting, roll it out to a thickness of about 1 cm and cut out circles.
In a pan, fry the bay leaf in oil until it turns black.
Add the onions and garlic, sauté them, and then add the spices.
After 1-2 minutes, add the tomatoes and cook until the oil separates from the mixture.
