Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Besan (chickpea flour)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 cups Oil for frying
Instructions
Grate the zucchini and place it in a cloth or paper towel. Squeeze out as much water as possible to prevent the bhujia from becoming soggy.
In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, almond flour, besan, turmeric, red chili powder, salt, asafoetida, and carom seeds.
Mix the ingredients well, adding water gradually to form a dough-like consistency. It should be firm enough to hold shape but not too dry.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
While the oil is heating, transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a small star nozzle or a sev maker.
Once the oil is hot, carefully pipe the mixture directly into the hot oil in a circular motion to form small clusters.
Fry the bhujia on medium heat until it turns crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the bhujia from the oil and drain it on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter in batches.
Allow the Keto Aloo Bhujia to cool to room temperature before serving or storing in an airtight container.
