Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Water
• 3 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil
• 4 slices Low-carb bread slices
• 200 grams Paneer (Indian cottage cheese)
• 1 medium Green chili, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, turmeric, cumin, and chili powder.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until light and frothy.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to ensure there are no lumps. Set the batter aside.

Step 4

In another bowl, crumble the paneer and mix it with chopped green chili, coriander leaves, grated ginger, and lemon juice. Mix well to form the filling.

Step 5

Take one slice of low-carb bread and spread an even layer of the paneer mixture on it. Place another slice on top to make a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining slices.

Step 6

Heat the ghee or coconut oil in a deep pan over medium heat.

Step 7

Dip the prepared bread sandwiches into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 8

Gently place the battered sandwiches into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 9

Remove the pakodas from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve hot with chutney or a low-carb sauce of your choice.
