Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup Green peas
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Green chili, minced
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, and salt. Mix well.
Heat the water until warm (not boiling) and add olive oil. Pour the warm liquid into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough briefly until smooth.
Divide the dough into six equal parts. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it slightly into a circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Steam or boil the cauliflower until tender, then mash it until it reaches a smooth, rice-like consistency.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the ghee or coconut oil. Add grated ginger and minced green chili, sautéing for 1 minute.
Add the mashed cauliflower, green peas, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, turmeric, and salt to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and mix in the chopped cilantro. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
Take each circle of dough and place a spoonful of filling in the center. Fold the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle and seal the edges by pinching them together. Ensure the samosas are tightly sealed.
Place the samosas on the lined baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Let the samosas cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with a side of mint yogurt dip or your favorite chutney.
