Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Ground lamb
- 120 grams Almond flour
- 125 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 30 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Begin by making the filling: Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee or coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until the onions become translucent.
Add the ground lamb to the pan and cook until it is no longer pink, breaking up any chunks with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, salt, and black pepper, and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, allowing the spices to coat the meat evenly.
Once the lamb is cooked, turn off the heat, and stir in the chopped cilantro. Set aside to cool slightly.
To make the dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute until the cheese is melted.
Stir the melted cheese until smooth, then add the almond flour to the mixture. Knead lightly until a dough forms.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Cut the dough into circles using a cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass. Reroll scraps as necessary to make additional circles.
Place a spoonful of the cooled lamb mixture onto each circle of dough, then fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
Press the edges to seal, using a fork to crimp and ensure a good seal.
Place the filled samosas on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over each samosa to give them a golden brown finish.
Bake the samosas in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is firm and golden brown.
Allow the samosas to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Lamb Samosas with a yogurt dip or chutney of your choice.
