Combine the water, 1 tablespoon oil and salt in a measuring cup; pour over the flour. Using your hand, mix the ingredients so they adhere together into a mass. A dough ball should form, if not, add a few tablespoons water. Gather the dough together, turn out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes, dusting with all purpose flour if it sticks. Brush the dough lightly with oil, cover with a plastic wrap and set aside to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. In a karhai, deep dryer or large, deep pan, pour in oil to a depth of 3 inches and heat to 385F. on a deep-frying thermometer. Meanwhile, divide the dough into 2 equal portions. On a floured surface, using your hands, roll each portion into a rope 8 inches long. Cut each rope into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball. Working with 1 ball at a time and using rolling pin, roll out each ball into a 5-inch circle, during often with flour to prevent sticking. Repeat with the remaining balls. When the oil is ready, gently slip 1 bread into the hot oil. Press the top lightly with a flat slotted spoon; this will enable the bread to puff up. When the bread is puffed and the underside cooked, about 30 seconds, turn it with tongs and cook the second side for 30 seconds, using another spoon to gently baste the bread with the oil. Using tongs, transfer the bread to paper towels to drain briefly. Keep the cooked breads warm in a low oven while you fry the remaining breads the same way. Serve immediately.

Add the onion, carrot, garlic, turmeric and cumin. Saute over high heat until the onions are glassy, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, make a bouquet garni by tying together the celery, parsley and thyme; add to pan. Stir in the lentils and the chicken stock, season lightly with salt, pepper and chili flakes; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Skim as necessary. Meanwhile, prepare the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, soak bread crumbs in milk. In a mixing bowl, combine the lamb, almonds, soaked bread crumbs, onion, raisins, egg, garlic, parsley, cilantro, and chili pepper flakes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil on the platter you will place the meatballs on and rub oil into the palm of both hands. Form meat mixture into 40 golf ball-size meatballs, each approximately 1-inch in diameter. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet or saute pan. Arrange the meatballs in 1 layer in the pan, quickly sear meatballs over high heat, and then place in the oven. Cook until the meatballs are well browned and firm to the touch, turning to brown all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Prepare the garnish: In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Refrigerate until serving time. Return to the soup: Remove the celery bouquet. With an immersion blender, lightly blend soup (you want it to still be a little chunky). Correct seasoning, to taste. Alternatively, transfer 2/3 of the soup to a blender*. Blend until smooth and return to the saucepan. Ladle soup into 8 or 10 soup bowls. Divide the meatballs evenly among the soup bowls and drizzle the yogurt mixture over. Serve immediately. *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth. Chicken Stock: Place the chicken bones in a 6-quart pot, pour water over to cover and bring to a rolling boil. Skim off the scum that collects on the top. Add the remaining ingredients, lower the flame, and simmer about 2 hours, skimming as necessary. Strain into a clean bowl and cool. Refrigerate in a covered container for up to 3 days, discarding hardened layer of fat before using or freezing.
