Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Cauliflower florets
- 100 grams Paneer (grated or crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 piece Green chilies (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Avocado oil (or other neutral oil for frying)
- 100 grams Greek yogurt (unsweetened, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Tamarind chutney (low-carb, store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons Mint chutney (low-carb, store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons Pomegranate seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Steam the cauliflower florets for about 7-10 minutes until tender. Let cool, then mash into a coarse texture using a fork or a food processor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower, grated paneer, coconut flour, green chilies, cilantro, cumin powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well to form a dough-like consistency.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into flat, round patties (tikkis). If the mixture feels too soft, refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm it up.
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the tikkis in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp. Cook in batches if necessary, and add more oil if needed.
Arrange the cooked tikkis on a serving plate. Drizzle the Greek yogurt, tamarind chutney, and mint chutney over the top.
Sprinkle the chaat masala all over, followed by the chopped red onion and pomegranate seeds (if using) for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful low-carb Tikki Chaat!
