Keto Aloo Tikki

Keto Aloo Tikki is a low-carb twist on the traditional Indian snack, replacing potatoes with nutrient-dense cauliflower to create a crispy and flavorful treat. Perfectly spiced and easy to make, these tikki are great for a healthy snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 400 grams
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Coconut flour - 20 grams
• Ginger paste - 1 teaspoon
• Green chili (finely chopped) - 1 small
• Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh coriander (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons for frying

Steps

1. Steam the cauliflower florets until soft, about 10-12 minutes, then drain and let cool.
2. Once cooled, mash the cauliflower until smooth and ensure there are no lumps.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower, almond flour, coconut flour, ginger paste, green chili, garam masala, cumin powder, salt, and fresh coriander. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.
4. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty (tikki).
5. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tikkis to the skillet.
6. Cook the tikkis for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with a side of keto-friendly chutney or yogurt.
