Ingredients

• 2 large Sweet potatoes
• 1 cup Coconut flour
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil
• 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
• 1 small Green chili
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda

Directions

Step 1

Peel and boil the sweet potatoes in a pot of water until they are soft, about 12-15 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.

Step 2

Once cooled, mash the sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl until smooth.

Step 3

Grate the fresh ginger and finely chop the green chili. Add them to the mashed sweet potatoes.

Step 4

Mix in turmeric powder, cumin seeds, salt, fresh coriander leaves, and lemon juice into the mashed sweet potatoes.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine coconut flour, almond flour, and baking soda. Gradually add water until the mixture forms a thick, smooth batter.

Step 6

Heat coconut oil in a deep pan over medium heat.

Step 7

While the oil is heating, take small portions of the sweet potato mixture and roll them into balls.

Step 8

Dip each ball into the flour batter, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 9

Carefully place each coated ball into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, roughly 3-4 minutes for each batch.

Step 10

Remove the vadas with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on a paper towel.

Step 11

Serve warm with a Paleo-friendly chutney or sauce of choice.
