Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets until they are tender, approximately 10 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly before proceeding.
In a food processor, pulse the steamed cauliflower until it becomes a fine rice-like texture.
Transfer the processed cauliflower into a clean cheesecloth or kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, egg, almond flour, coconut flour, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into small, flat bread-like discs on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cauliflower bread is firm and light golden brown.
Meanwhile, peel and boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender. Once cooked, drain and mash them in a large bowl.
Grate the carrot and add it to the mashed potatoes along with green peas, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, coriander leaves, and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Mix thoroughly to form the potato filling.
Take two pieces of cauliflower bread and place a generous amount of the potato filling in between to create a sandwich.
In a skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Once hot, place the cauliflower bread sandwiches in the oil carefully.
Fry each side until they are crisp and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the pakoras from the skillet and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve the Paleo Aloo Bread Pakora hot with your favorite paleo-friendly chutney or sauce.
