The Keto Bhindi Burger is a delightful twist on traditional Indian flavors, featuring crispy spiced okra sandwiched between low-carb almond flour buns. This burger is not only satisfying but also packed with nutrients while keeping your carb intake in check.

Ingredients

• Okra - 200 grams
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Cheddar cheese (shredded) - 50 grams
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons (for frying)
• Lettuce leaves - 2 large
• Sliced tomato - 1 medium
• Sliced onion - 1 small
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons (optional for serving)

Steps

1. Wash and dry the okra, then slice them into thin rounds.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced okra, cumin powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the okra evenly with spices.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the spiced okra and sauté until they are crispy and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. In another bowl, mix almond flour, egg, and shredded cheddar cheese to form a dough. Ensure it is well combined.
5. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
6. Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the almond flour patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and firm.
7. To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom, then add a patty, followed by a generous portion of crispy okra, sliced tomato, and onion. Top with another lettuce leaf and serve with mayonnaise if desired.
