Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Coconut flour
• 0.25 cup Almond flour
• 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 cup Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Cauliflower florets
• 0.5 cup Zucchini, shredded
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0 as needed Avocado oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, almond flour, and psyllium husk powder. Gradually add water and mix to form a thick batter.

Step 2

Chop the spinach finely and add it to the batter, along with the cauliflower florets (roughly chopped), shredded zucchini, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro.

Step 3

Add garlic powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the batter. Mix everything well until all vegetables are coated in the batter.

Step 4

Heat avocado oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat. Make sure there's enough oil to allow the pakoras to fry evenly and become crispy.

Step 5

Using a spoon or your hands, scoop small portions of the batter and gently drop them into the hot oil. Fry 4-5 pakoras at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 6

Fry each pakora for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 7

Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve the keto vegetable pakoras warm with a side of sugar-free mint chutney or a low-carb yogurt dip. Enjoy!
