In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of cauliflower rice, 0.5 cup of almond flour, and 0.5 cup of roasted peanuts (coarsely ground).
Add 1 teaspoon of ginger paste, 1 finely chopped green chili, 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to the mixture.
Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and mix again. If the mixture feels too dry, add a bit more lemon juice or water, one teaspoon at a time, until it holds together.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty using your hands.
Heat 0.25 cup of ghee or coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the vadas and fry in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crisp.
Remove the crispy vadas from the oil and drain them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve the Keto Sabudana Vadas hot with your favorite keto-friendly chutney or a side of yogurt for an extra treat.
