egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

Flaxseed meal is a great egg substitute for binding.

Mix rice flour, turmeric powder, and salt in a bowl until well combined.

Add coconut milk and egg to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until hot.

Dip a kokis mold into the hot oil to preheat it.

Remove the mold from the oil and dip it into the batter, coating it evenly.

Carefully place the batter-coated mold back into the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, then remove and drain on paper towels.

Repeat with remaining batter, ensuring the mold is heated each time.
