Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 cups Avocado oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour and coconut flour. Mix well to ensure they are thoroughly combined.
Add cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, turmeric powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to the flour mixture. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
Pour in the olive oil and begin mixing to coat the flour with the oil.
Gradually add water to the mixture, starting with just a few tablespoons and mixing before adding more, until a thick dough forms. The dough should be pliable but firm enough to hold shape.
Heat avocado oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. It should be hot enough for frying, around 350°F (175°C).
While the oil is heating, fill a Sev maker or a piping bag with a medium-sized round tip with the dough.
Once the oil is hot, carefully pipe strands of the dough directly into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the Kara Sev for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.
Remove the Kara Sev using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
Let them cool completely to achieve maximum crispness before serving or storing in an airtight container.
