Crispy Frog Legs

Crispy Frog Legs are a delightful Paleo Indian appetizer that combines a crunchy exterior with tender, flavorful meat. Perfectly seasoned with Indian spices, these frog legs offer a unique and adventurous culinary experience.

Ingredients

• Frog legs - 300 grams
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Coconut flour - 50 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Ginger powder - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Egg - 1 large
• Coconut oil - 200 ml (for frying)
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, ginger powder, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
2. In another bowl, beat the egg until well mixed.
3. Dip each frog leg into the beaten egg, ensuring they are fully coated.
4. Then, dredge the egg-coated frog legs in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
5. In a deep frying pan, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 180°C).
6. Carefully place the coated frog legs in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding, for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. Once cooked, remove the frog legs from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
