Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized onions
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick rings and separate them. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot powder, baking soda, ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, and sea salt.
Whisk the large egg in a separate bowl, then add it to the dry ingredients along with the water. Mix to form a smooth, thick batter.
Heat the coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it's coated evenly, and carefully place it into the hot oil.
Fry the onions in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried onion bajjis with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the Paleo Onion Bajji hot with your favorite Paleo-friendly chutney or dip.
