Mix flour, yeast, yogurt, and 250 ml water to form a thick batter. Let it rest for about 1/2 hour. You can also let it rest longer (2-3 hours). If you like, you can color the water with food coloring or saffron. Make a thick syrup from sugar, honey or rose water, 200 ml water, and the cardamom. Test for doneness: Place a drop of the syrup on a plate. If it stays put, the syrup is ready. If it runs away, the syrup needs to be reduced further. Heat the oil. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle. Place some of the batter in a spiral shape into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, then drain well. Then coat with sugar syrup.
