Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 cup, shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup, riced cauliflower
- 0.25 cup green peas
- 1 teaspoon, minced ginger
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, cream cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
Microwave the mixture for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds until cheese is melted.
Add the egg to the mixture and mix until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
In a skillet over medium heat, add some cooking oil.
Add cumin seeds and sauté until they start to crackle.
Add minced ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add riced cauliflower and green peas. Cook until cauliflower is tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro. Let the filling cool to room temperature.
Preheat oil in a pan for frying over medium heat.
Remove dough from the refrigerator. Divide into eight portions and roll each piece into a small circle.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle and press the edges to seal.
Gently fry the samosas in the preheated oil until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly chutney or dip.
