Keto Samosa Recipe
A Keto Samosa is a variation of the traditional Indian snack, made with almond flour instead of wheat flour to make it suitable for a low-carb, ketogenic diet. The almond flour gives the samosas a crispy texture and a nutty flavor that compliments the savory filling of vegetables and spices.
Ingredients
For the dough:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup water
For the filling:
- 2 cups mixed vegetables e.g. potatoes, peas, onions, carrots
- 1/2 cup paneer / cottage cheese optional
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
Pre-Cooking Prep Steps
- Start by preparing the filling. In a pan, heat some oil and sauté the chopped vegetables and ground meat or paneer (if using) for about 5 minutes.
- Add the spices (cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder) and mix well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes and then remove from heat. Allow the filling to cool.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, salt, and coconut oil. Slowly add in the water and knead until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough into a ball and let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Take a portion of the dough and roll it out into a thin circle. Cut the circle into a semi-circle.
- Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of the semi-circle and fold the dough over to form a triangular shape.
- Pinch the edges to seal the samosa and then brush with some coconut oil.
- Place the samosas on a baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes & Tips
Notes & Comments
- You can also deep-fry the samosas instead of baking them for a crispy texture.
- These samosas can be served with chutney or yogurt for dipping.
- You can store the cooked samosas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
