Mix the yogurt and oil. Add the egg whites and salt. Combine the baking powder and flour and gradually stir in. Knead the dough until it no longer sticks to your hands. Crumble the feta cheese and mix with the finely chopped parsley. Roll out a piece of dough the size of a tangerine and flatten it on a table. Using a teaspoon, spread the feta cheese mixture in the center, seal the dough like an onion, and then roll it up again. Brush the rolled balls with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 190°C for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Makes about 16 balls.
