Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (sliced into thin strips) Zucchini
- 1 cup (chopped) Spinach
- 1 cup (grated) Cauliflower
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon (to taste) Salt
- 0.25 cup (adjust as necessary) Water
- 0.33 cup (for frying) Coconut oil or avocado oil
Instructions
Wash and prepare the vegetables. Slice the zucchini into thin strips, chop the spinach, and grate the cauliflower.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, and psyllium husk powder. Add turmeric, cumin, coriander, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add the prepared vegetables to the dry mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Slowly add water, one tablespoon at a time, to form a thick batter that holds the veggies together. Be careful not to make the batter too runny.
Heat coconut oil or avocado oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, scoop small portions of the batter (about 1-2 tablespoons) and gently drop them into the oil. Flatten them slightly with a spoon for even cooking.
Fry the pakoras in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the pakoras from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve hot with keto-friendly mint chutney or yogurt dip.
