Ingredients
- 2 large Onion
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0 for frying Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling the onions and slicing them into thick rings. Set aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, ground turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Step 3
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients and stir until you achieve a smooth, thick batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. You need enough oil to submerge the bajji halfway.
Step 5
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is well coated, then carefully place it in the hot oil.
Step 6
Fry the onion bajjis in batches, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the bajjis using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the hot low carb onion bajjis with a mint yogurt dip or your favorite condiment.
