Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Tapioca starch
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 large Sweet potato
- 1 cup (diced) Carrots
- 0.5 cup Peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup (for frying) Avocado oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, tapioca starch, sea salt, and mix well.
Add the egg, coconut oil, and water to the dry ingredients and knead until a dough forms. If needed, add more coconut flour or water to achieve the proper dough consistency. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Peel and dice the sweet potato. Boil in salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add coconut oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Saute for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add diced carrots and peas to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Stir in boiled sweet potatoes, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and chili powder. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and heated through.
Add chopped cilantro and lemon juice. Stir well and remove from heat. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a flat round using additional tapioca starch to prevent sticking.
Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each round, fold over, and crimp the edges to seal. Make sure the samosas are tightly sealed to prevent leaking.
In a large frying pan, heat avocado oil over medium-high heat.
Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Drain excess oil by placing samosas on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve warm with your favorite paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
