Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Onion
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Water
- for frying Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by peeling the onions and slicing them into thick rings. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, ground turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients and stir until you achieve a smooth, thick batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Heat olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. You need enough oil to submerge the bajji halfway.
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is well coated, then carefully place it in the hot oil.
Fry the onion bajjis in batches, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the bajjis using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the hot low carb onion bajjis with a mint yogurt dip or your favorite condiment.
