Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 cup Coconut flour
- 1 cup Tapioca flour
- 0.5 cup Arrowroot powder
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- as needed Coconut oil for frying
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small cubes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds.
Add in the cubed sweet potatoes, turmeric, garam masala, and sea salt, stirring to combine.
Cover the pan and let the sweet potatoes cook until they are tender, stirring occasionally for about 15-20 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, tapioca flour, and arrowroot powder.
Slowly add the water and coconut milk to the flour mixture, stirring continuously to form a smooth dough.
Divide the dough into small balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Flatten each ball into a disc shape to form the puris.
In a deep frying pan, heat enough coconut oil to submerge the puris over medium-high heat.
Fry each puri until golden brown and puffed, about 2 minutes per side.
Drain the puris on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the sweet potato mixture with the fried puris while hot. Enjoy your Paleo Alu Puri!
