Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground lamb
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium head Cauliflower, riced
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground lamb to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in garam masala, ground cumin, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
While the lamb filling is cooling, prepare the cauliflower crust. Steam riced cauliflower until tender, about 5 minutes. Let it cool, then place in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, eggs, and coconut flour. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the cauliflower mixture into 8 equal portions.
Take one portion of the cauliflower mixture and flatten it onto the parchment paper into a circular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place a spoonful of the lamb filling onto one half of the cauliflower circle. Fold the other half over to create a semi-circle. Press the edges to seal, ensuring none of the filling escapes. Repeat for the remaining portions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cauliflower crust is golden brown and firm.
Garnish the samosas with fresh chopped cilantro before serving hot.
