Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Canned mackerel
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Ginger garlic paste
- 1 small Green chili
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 250 milliliters Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions
Drain the canned mackerel and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Break it into smaller chunks using a fork.
Add the almond flour and coconut flour to the bowl with the mackerel, mixing until well combined.
Chop the green chili finely and add it to the mixture along with the ginger garlic paste, chopped coriander, salt, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder.
In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs lightly and add them to the mackerel mixture. Mix until everything is well-integrated to form a batter.
Heat the cooking oil in a deep-frying pan over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying by dropping a small piece of batter into it; it should sizzle and rise to the top quickly.
Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the pakoras in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the pakoras for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried pakoras from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Keto Mackerel Pakoras hot with your favorite keto-friendly chutney or dip.
