Crispy Quail Eggs

Crispy Quail Eggs are a delightful Paleo Indian BBQ dish that combines the rich flavors of Indian spices with the delicate texture of quail eggs, resulting in a crispy, crunchy treat. Perfect as an appetizer or snack, these eggs are packed with nutrition and flavor.

Ingredients

• Quail eggs - 8
• Coconut flour - 50 grams
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Red chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Egg - 1 (for egg wash)
• Coconut oil - for frying

Steps

1. Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil and carefully add the quail eggs. Boil for 4 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to cool down.
2. Once cooled, gently peel the quail eggs and set them aside.
3. In a bowl, mix together the coconut flour, almond flour, turmeric, coriander, cumin, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. In another bowl, beat the egg to create an egg wash.
5. Heat coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
6. Dip each peeled quail egg into the egg wash, then roll it in the flour mixture until well-coated.
7. Carefully place the coated quail eggs in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Make sure to turn them occasionally for even cooking.
8. Remove the crispy quail eggs from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
9. Serve hot with your choice of Paleo-friendly dipping sauce or chutney.
