Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 300 grams Fish fillet (like tilapia or cod)
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon grated Ginger
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until you get a rice-like texture.
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 5 minutes on high until tender. Allow it to cool slightly.
Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean cloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to get a firm dough.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, egg, coconut flour, and a pinch of salt until a dough forms. Set aside.
For the filling, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and green chili. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
Add the fish fillets to the pan. Use a spatula to break the fish into small pieces as it cooks. Continue until the fish is fully cooked and any liquid has evaporated.
Stir in garlic powder, ground cumin, garam masala, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the fish evenly with spices.
Finish by mixing in the chopped coriander, and remove from heat. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To form the samosas, divide the cauliflower dough into 10 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a circle about 5 inches in diameter.
Place a spoonful of the fish mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and seal the edges by pressing them with your fingers.
Arrange the samosas on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm.
