• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder (or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne)
• 3/4 teaspoon carom seeds (lightly crushed)
• 1 teaspoon garlic (paste)
• 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon water
• 3/4 cup gluten free panko (**)
• 1 tablespoon cilantro (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1/2 cup plain full-fat yogurt

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl add gram flour, salt, turmeric, red chili powder, carom seeds and garlic. Add a little bit of water at a time to make a smooth batter. The batter should be similar to pancake batter, not too thick or watery.
2. 2Add the panko to another bowl.
3. 3Take a slice of zucchini and dip in the batter, coating both sides lightly with a thin layer of batter.
4. 4Then place the zucchini in the panko crumbs and coat lightly on both sides.
5. 5Tip: To make this easy, you want to keep a wet hand for batter and a dry hand for the panko. This way your hands will not get too messy.
6. 6Place the coated zucchini chips in a parchment-lined baking tray.
7. 7Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees
8. 8Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Line the coated zucchini chips in a single layer. My air fryer fits about 16 to 18 slices.
9. 9Air Fryer at 370 for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes spray the chips lightly with oil and air fry for another 2 minutes or until the chips become golden brown and crispy.
