Instructions
Wash and slice the eggplant, zucchini, and bell pepper into 1/4 inch thick rounds or strips.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, salt, turmeric powder, chili powder, and cumin powder.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the water to form a smooth mixture.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until you get a thick batter. Ensure no lumps remain.
Heat coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until hot.
Dip each vegetable slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
Carefully place the coated vegetable slices into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
