Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 200 grams
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Psyllium husk - 2 tablespoons
• Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Fresh coriander leaves - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Green chili - 1, finely chopped
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Garlic - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Oil - for frying (coconut or olive oil) - about 100 ml

Steps

1. Steam the cauliflower florets for about 10 minutes until tender, then drain and mash them in a bowl.
2. Add turmeric, cumin, garam masala, chili powder, salt, coriander, green chili, ginger, and garlic to the mashed cauliflower and mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour and psyllium husk. Gradually add water, mixing until a dough forms.
4. Divide the cauliflower mixture into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
5. Take a portion of the almond flour dough, flatten it in your palm, and place a cauliflower ball in the center. Wrap the dough around the filling and shape it into a patty.
6. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the patties until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
7. Transfer the fried Keto Vada Pav to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
8. Serve hot with green chutney on the side.
