Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Hot water
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets, riced
- 0.5 cup Frozen green peas
- 1 medium Carrot, diced small
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Avocado or olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, xanthan gum, and salt.
Add hot water gradually and mix until a smooth dough forms. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and toast for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger; sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in diced carrot, riced cauliflower, and frozen peas. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric powder, chili powder (if using), and salt to taste. Mix well and cook for 1 minute to combine. Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro. Let the filling cool completely.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it between two sheets of parchment paper into a thin circle, about 4 inches in diameter.
Place a spoonful of the veggie filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
Transfer the samosas to the prepared baking sheet. Brush each samosa lightly with avocado or olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite low-carb chutney or dipping sauce!
