Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat)
- 2 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 pieces Green chilies, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder

Instructions
In a bowl, mix 1 cup of almond flour, 1/2 cup of chopped fresh spinach, 1/2 cup cauliflower rice, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 2 finely chopped green chilies, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well to form a thick batter.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil to form pakoras. Fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In another bowl, whisk 1 cup of full-fat Greek yogurt with 2 cups of water until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.
In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds, 2 dried red chilies, and about 10 curry leaves. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour the yogurt mixture into the pan with the spices. Cook on low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
Gently add the fried pakoras to the kadhi and let them simmer for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Serve the Keto Kadhi Pakora hot, garnished with additional fresh curry leaves if desired.
