Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons Warm water
- 1.5 cups Cauliflower florets (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup Frozen peas (optional for slightly higher carbs)
- 0.25 cup Carrot (finely grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
Instructions
In a bowl, mix the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut in the coconut oil until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the warm water slowly while mixing until a soft dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.
Add the grated ginger and minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder, and salt. Cook for another 30 seconds to release the flavors.
Add the finely chopped cauliflower, grated carrot, and frozen peas (if using). Stir well to coat with the spices. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the chopped cilantro and set the filling aside to cool.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion between two sheets of parchment paper into a thin, oval shape.
Cut each oval in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edges with your fingers. Fill the cone with the vegetable mixture.
Seal the top of the cone by pinching the edges together. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Place the samosas on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little coconut or olive oil for a golden finish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Serve warm with a side of chutney or yogurt dip of your choice.
