Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized onions
• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 cup coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick rings and separate them. Set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot powder, baking soda, ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, and sea salt.

Step 3

Whisk the large egg in a separate bowl, then add it to the dry ingredients along with the water. Mix to form a smooth, thick batter.

Step 4

Heat the coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

Step 5

Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it's coated evenly, and carefully place it into the hot oil.

Step 6

Fry the onions in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove the fried onion bajjis with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the Paleo Onion Bajji hot with your favorite Paleo-friendly chutney or dip.
