Ingredients

• 500 g White fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
• 50 g Coconut flour
• 50 g Almond flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tbsp Ginger paste
• 1 tbsp Garlic paste
• 1 tsp Red chili powder
• 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
• 1 tsp Cumin powder
• 1 tsp Coriander powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Cilantro
• 100 ml Water
• 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the white fish fillets into bite-sized pieces (around 2 inches wide) and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, ginger paste, garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add lemon juice to the mixture and stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Crack the eggs into the mixture and whisk together until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add water, a little at a time, to the mixture, stirring until you achieve a thick batter consistency.

Step 6

Add the fish pieces to the batter, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering (approximately 180°C or 350°F).

Step 8

Carefully add a few pieces of fish to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 9

Fry the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and the fish is cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the cooked fish pakoras from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

Step 11

Repeat the frying process with the remaining fish pieces.

Step 12

Garnish the pakoras with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
