Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 medium, grated Zucchini
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped Onion
- 0.25 cup, chopped Coriander leaves
- 1 teaspoon Ginger garlic paste
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 cup for shallow frying Olive oil or coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by grating the zucchini and placing it in a muslin cloth or a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much water as possible to ensure the bhajia batter is not too watery.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, almond flour, egg, finely chopped onion, coriander leaves, ginger garlic paste, chopped green chili, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and baking powder.
Step 3
Mix all the ingredients well to form a thick batter. If the batter is too dry, add a tablespoon of water, but ensure it remains thicker rather than runny.
Step 4
Heat olive oil or coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat for shallow frying.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, take a tablespoon of the batter and gently place it in the pan, flattening it slightly to form a round fritter. Repeat with more batter, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Fry the bhajias for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the bhajias from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve hot with a side of mint chutney or a keto-friendly sauce of your choice.
