Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Cauliflower florets
- 0.5 cup Zucchini, shredded
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- as needed Avocado oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, almond flour, and psyllium husk powder. Gradually add water and mix to form a thick batter.
Chop the spinach finely and add it to the batter, along with the cauliflower florets (roughly chopped), shredded zucchini, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
Add garlic powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the batter. Mix everything well until all vegetables are coated in the batter.
Heat avocado oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat. Make sure there's enough oil to allow the pakoras to fry evenly and become crispy.
Using a spoon or your hands, scoop small portions of the batter and gently drop them into the hot oil. Fry 4-5 pakoras at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry each pakora for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter.
Serve the keto vegetable pakoras warm with a side of sugar-free mint chutney or a low-carb yogurt dip. Enjoy!
