Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 3 tablespoons Ghee
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium Green chili, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to splutter.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onions and green chili to the pan. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the turmeric powder and red chili powder, and sauté for another minute to combine the spices with the onions.

Step 4

Incorporate the almond flour and coconut flour into the pan. Toast the flours gently over low heat for 3-4 minutes while stirring constantly.

Step 5

Season with salt and gradually add water while stirring continuously to ensure there are no lumps. Cook this mixture on low heat for about 5-6 minutes, until the flours absorb the water and form a cohesive, thick mixture.

Step 6

Your keto besan ki sabji should start leaving the sides of the pan. Turn off the heat.

Step 7

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot, alongside your favorite side dish or keto bread alternative for a fulfilling meal.
