Ingredients

• 300 grams Ground lamb
• 120 grams Almond flour
• 125 grams Mozzarella cheese
• 30 grams Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

Begin by making the filling: Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee or coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until the onions become translucent.

Step 2

Add the ground lamb to the pan and cook until it is no longer pink, breaking up any chunks with a wooden spoon.

Step 3

Stir in the cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, salt, and black pepper, and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, allowing the spices to coat the meat evenly.

Step 4

Once the lamb is cooked, turn off the heat, and stir in the chopped cilantro. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

To make the dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute until the cheese is melted.

Step 6

Stir the melted cheese until smooth, then add the almond flour to the mixture. Knead lightly until a dough forms.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Step 9

Cut the dough into circles using a cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass. Reroll scraps as necessary to make additional circles.

Step 10

Place a spoonful of the cooled lamb mixture onto each circle of dough, then fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape.

Step 11

Press the edges to seal, using a fork to crimp and ensure a good seal.

Step 12

Place the filled samosas on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 13

In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over each samosa to give them a golden brown finish.

Step 14

Bake the samosas in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is firm and golden brown.

Step 15

Allow the samosas to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Lamb Samosas with a yogurt dip or chutney of your choice.
