Keto Samosa

Keto Samosas are a delightful low-carb twist on the traditional Indian snack, filled with spiced vegetables and wrapped in a crispy almond flour dough. Perfect for a satisfying lunch, these samosas are both nutritious and flavorful.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1 cup
• Psyllium husk - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Warm water - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Cauliflower - 1 cup, grated
• Green peas - 1/4 cup (frozen or fresh)
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Garlic - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Green chili - 1, finely chopped (optional)
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Oil for frying - as needed

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, salt, cumin, coriander, black pepper, and baking powder.
2. Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead for a few minutes until smooth.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
4. In another pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add ginger, garlic, and green chili, and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
5. Add grated cauliflower and green peas to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is tender. Stir in cilantro and lemon juice, then remove from heat and let cool.
6. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a circle (about 10 cm in diameter).
7. Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edge with a little water.
8. Fill the cone with the vegetable mixture, then seal the open edge by pressing firmly with your fingers.
9. Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling.
10. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
11. Remove the samosas and drain on paper towels before serving.
