Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cauliflower (florets, for vada mixture)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Psyllium husk powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon Garlic paste
- 1 small Green chili (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Avocado oil (or coconut oil, for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Keto-friendly hot sauce or chutney (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, then mash them thoroughly using a fork or a potato masher. Place them in a mixing bowl.
To the mashed cauliflower, add coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, ginger paste, garlic paste, chopped green chili, and salt. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and form small round balls (vada). Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, eggs, baking powder, melted butter, and unsweetened almond milk. Mix well to create a smooth batter for the keto buns.
Grease a microwave-safe mug or ramekin and pour a portion of the batter into it. Microwave on high for 90 seconds or until the bun is cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 4 buns.
Slice each bun in half horizontally to make a top and bottom portion. Set them aside.
In a skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Shallow fry the prepared vadas until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
To assemble, place one fried vada between the two halves of a keto bun. Optionally, spread keto-friendly hot sauce or chutney on the buns.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves for an extra burst of flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your keto vadapav!
