Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 1 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 1 small Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions
Peel and boil the sweet potatoes in a pot of water until they are soft, about 12-15 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
Once cooled, mash the sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl until smooth.
Grate the fresh ginger and finely chop the green chili. Add them to the mashed sweet potatoes.
Mix in turmeric powder, cumin seeds, salt, fresh coriander leaves, and lemon juice into the mashed sweet potatoes.
In a separate bowl, combine coconut flour, almond flour, and baking soda. Gradually add water until the mixture forms a thick, smooth batter.
Heat coconut oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
While the oil is heating, take small portions of the sweet potato mixture and roll them into balls.
Dip each ball into the flour batter, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Carefully place each coated ball into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, roughly 3-4 minutes for each batch.
Remove the vadas with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
Serve warm with a Paleo-friendly chutney or sauce of choice.
