Ingredients
- 4 whole Medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 whole Green chilies, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Arrowroot powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, for frying
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Boil the potatoes in a pot of water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain them and let them cool slightly.
Step 2
Peel and mash the potatoes in a large bowl until smooth.
Step 3
In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once they start to splutter, add minced ginger, chopped green chilies, and turmeric powder. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the spice mixture, salt, and chopped cilantro to the mashed potatoes and mix well.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, prepare the batter by combining almond flour, arrowroot powder, and eggs. Mix until you achieve a smooth and consistent batter.
Step 6
Form the potato mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
Step 7
Heat 0.5 cup coconut oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
Step 8
Dip each potato ball into the batter, ensuring it is well coated, then gently place it into the hot oil.
Step 9
Fry the bateta wara in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
Step 10
Remove the fried bateta wara with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
Step 11
Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon juice over the top and enjoy as a delightful Paleo snack!
