Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ginger powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Green peas, optional
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken, cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and peas if using to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is well coated and heated through, about 4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the fresh cilantro, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, cauliflower rice, melted butter, and the egg. Mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and roll into balls. Flatten each ball into a circle roughly 4 inches in diameter, making sure the edges are slightly thicker to avoid splitting.
Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture on one half of each dough circle, then fold over and press the edges to seal, forming a semi circle.
Press the edges with a fork gently to ensure they are sealed, then place each samosa on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with a little olive oil for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
Serve warm with your choice of chutney or dipping sauce.
