Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Arrowroot starch
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 cup Riced cauliflower
- 0.5 cup Pomegranate seeds
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Tamarind paste
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
- 3 tablespoons Coconut yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Toasted pumpkin seeds
Instructions
Peel and boil the sweet potatoes until tender, approximately 10-12 minutes. Drain and let them cool.
Mash the cooled sweet potatoes in a large bowl until smooth. Add coconut flour, arrowroot starch, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well combined into a dough-like consistency.
Form the mixture into small, round patties (about 2 inches in diameter). You should yield 8-10 tikkis.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.
In a small bowl, combine tamarind paste, lemon juice, and chili powder to make the tangy dressing.
To assemble the chaat, spread the fried tikkis on a serving platter. Top each tikki with a little riced cauliflower, a dollop of coconut yogurt, a drizzle of the tamarind dressing, and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and toasted pumpkin seeds.
Serve immediately as a flavorful Paleo-friendly appetizer or snack.
