Ingredients
- 250 grams Greek yogurt (full-fat, unsweetened)
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 50 ml Water
- 250 ml Oil for frying
- 1 tablespoon Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Black salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add water to make a smooth, thick batter.
Step 2
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by dropping a small bit of batter into it; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
Step 3
Using a spoon or a piping bag, drop small amounts of batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes, then remove and drain on paper towels. This is your low-carb boondi.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt until smooth. Add cumin powder, red chili powder, and additional salt or black salt as per taste; mix well.
Step 5
Just before serving, mix the fried almond boondi into the spiced yogurt.
Step 6
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a side dish or accompaniment to main meals.
