Directions

Step 1

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small cubes.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add in the cubed sweet potatoes, turmeric, garam masala, and sea salt, stirring to combine.

Step 5

Cover the pan and let the sweet potatoes cook until they are tender, stirring occasionally for about 15-20 minutes.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, tapioca flour, and arrowroot powder.

Step 8

Slowly add the water and coconut milk to the flour mixture, stirring continuously to form a smooth dough.

Step 9

Divide the dough into small balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

Step 10

Flatten each ball into a disc shape to form the puris.

Step 11

In a deep frying pan, heat enough coconut oil to submerge the puris over medium-high heat.

Step 12

Fry each puri until golden brown and puffed, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 13

Drain the puris on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 14

Serve the sweet potato mixture with the fried puris while hot. Enjoy your Paleo Alu Puri!
