To make the dough, knead a mixture of butter or margarine, vegetable oil, yoghurt, egg white, baking soda and salt. Add some flour and keep kneading until the dough reaches a soft but not sticky consistency.

Combine the cheese and chopped parsley. Pinch little balls from the dough and roll them out in your palm. Put a pinch of the cheese mixture in the middle and fold it in. Brush with egg yolk and sprinkle on top with black cumin seeds.
