Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice (steamed and squeezed dry)
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
- 1 Green chili (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Ghee (for frying)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full fat, unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 0.25 cup Green chutney (keto-friendly, made with cilantro, mint, and lime juice)
- 0.25 cup Tamari sauce (keto-friendly alternative to tamarind chutney)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Pomegranate seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the steamed and squeezed cauliflower rice, almond flour, ginger paste, green chili, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt.
Mix the ingredients until they form a dough-like consistency that can be shaped into patties. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more almond flour.
Divide the mixture into eight equal portions, and shape each into a small, round tikki (pattie) approximately 2 inches in diameter.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ghee.
Shallow-fry the tikkis in batches, cooking them for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt until smooth and season with a pinch of chaat masala.
To plate, place 2 tikkis on each serving plate. Drizzle with spoonfuls of whisked yogurt, green chutney, and tamari sauce.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, pomegranate seeds, and chopped onions as desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy keto-friendly tikkis with a symphony of bold and spicy flavors.
