Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 large Green chili, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing a chia seed gel: In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with one cup of boiling water. Stir well and let it sit for 10 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour, finely chopped onion, green chili, ginger-garlic paste, cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the prepared chia seed gel to the almond flour mixture. Mix well to form a thick batter.

Step 4

Gently fold in the chopped fresh coriander leaves into the batter.

Step 5

Heat the coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Using a spoon or your hands, form small balls or dollops of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil.

Step 7

Fry the bhajias in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the bhajias from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the Keto Daal Bhajias hot with a side of chutney or your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
