Ingredients
- 400 grams Canned mackerel
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Ginger garlic paste
- 1 small Green chili
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 250 milliliters Cooking oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Drain the canned mackerel and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Break it into smaller chunks using a fork.
Step 2
Add the almond flour and coconut flour to the bowl with the mackerel, mixing until well combined.
Step 3
Chop the green chili finely and add it to the mixture along with the ginger garlic paste, chopped coriander, salt, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs lightly and add them to the mackerel mixture. Mix until everything is well-integrated to form a batter.
Step 5
Heat the cooking oil in a deep-frying pan over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying by dropping a small piece of batter into it; it should sizzle and rise to the top quickly.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the pakoras in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Fry the pakoras for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the fried pakoras from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Keto Mackerel Pakoras hot with your favorite keto-friendly chutney or dip.
