Steam cauliflower florets until tender, then mash them into a smooth mixture.
Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin and mustard seeds, cooking until they start to crackle.
Add the mashed cauliflower, turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, and red chili powder. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Add chopped cilantro to the cauliflower mixture and mix well. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, eggs, baking powder, garlic powder, and water to form a batter. The consistency should be thick, similar to pancake batter.
Slice the keto-friendly bread made using almond flour into thick slices.
Take two slices of bread and place a spoonful of the cauliflower mixture in between to make a sandwich.
Dip each 'sandwich' in the almond flour batter ensuring it is well-coated.
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil for frying. Once hot, carefully place the coated bread pakoras in the skillet.
Fry the pakoras on both sides until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Ensure the oil covers at least half the thickness of the pakoras for even cooking.
Remove the pakoras from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with a side of keto-friendly mint chutney or yogurt.
