Keto Onion Bhajia is a golden, crunchy snack that has all the comfort and spice of classic Indian fritters without the added carbs. These bhajias remain light, crisp, & completely keto. We make them by using psyllium husk & almond flour rather than chickpea flour. Fresh coriander, cumin, green chilies, and thinly sliced onions combine to make a tasty mixture that cooks well in ghee or coconut oil. The onions provide an appealing stability of crunchiness, sweetness, & spice in bhajia. Serve these hot Keto Onion Bhajia with lemon, garlic yogurt dip, or mint chutney. These bhajias provide that comforting Indian street food experience healthily, whether you air fry or fry them.
