Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups Coconut flour
  • 0.25 cups Arrowroot powder
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
  • 0.5 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
  • 0.25 cups Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 optional Green chili, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Crack the eggs into the dry mixture and whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Slowly add water to the egg and flour mixture, stirring continuously to form a smooth batter without lumps.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped onion, cumin seeds, salt, and optional green chili into the batter, mixing well to distribute evenly.

Step 5

Heat 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the pan and spread it out gently in a circular motion to form a thin layer.

Step 7

Let the dosa cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to lift and turn golden brown. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the dosa from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as needed.

Step 9

Garnish the dosas with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your nutritious Paleo Onion Dosa with your favorite chutney or side dish.
