Ingredients
- 500 g Boneless chicken thighs
- 100 g Almond flour
- 30 g Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tbsp Ginger paste
- 1 tbsp Garlic paste
- 1 tsp Red chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1 tsp Cumin powder
- 1 tsp Coriander powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 300 ml Coconut oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add ginger paste, garlic paste, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, and ground black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir to form a smooth batter.
Gently fold the chicken pieces into the batter, ensuring each piece is well coated with the mixture.
Heat the coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Carefully drop the batter-coated chicken pieces into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding.
Fry the chicken pakoras for about 5-7 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the pakoras from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
Serve the keto chicken pakoras hot with a side of mint chutney or yogurt dip for added flavor.
