Ingredients

• 300 grams Cauliflower florets
• 100 grams Almond flour
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil or avocado oil
• 50 milliliters Water
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets, then steam or microwave them until fork-tender. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, add almond flour, beaten eggs, garam masala, turmeric powder, chili powder, cumin seeds, salt, baking powder, and water. Whisk until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

Step 3

In a pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil. Once hot, add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 1 minute until aromatic.

Step 4

Add the cooked cauliflower to the pan, then add lemon juice, and salt to taste. Mix thoroughly to coat the cauliflower with the spices. Mash slightly using a fork, leaving some texture in the cauliflower.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped fresh cilantro and remove from the heat. Let the filling cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Shape the cooled cauliflower mixture into small, even-sized balls or patties (around 2-3 inches in diameter).

Step 7

Heat the remaining olive oil or avocado oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Dip each cauliflower ball or patty into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Gently place into the hot oil.

Step 9

Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the Bateta Wara from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 11

Serve hot with a side of mint yogurt chutney or any keto-friendly dipping sauce of your choice.
