Ingredients

• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Roasted peanuts
• 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
• 1 Green chili, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Ghee or coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of cauliflower rice, 0.5 cup of almond flour, and 0.5 cup of roasted peanuts (coarsely ground).

Step 2

Add 1 teaspoon of ginger paste, 1 finely chopped green chili, 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to the mixture.

Step 3

Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 4

Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and mix again. If the mixture feels too dry, add a bit more lemon juice or water, one teaspoon at a time, until it holds together.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty using your hands.

Step 6

Heat 0.25 cup of ghee or coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, add the vadas and fry in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crisp.

Step 8

Remove the crispy vadas from the oil and drain them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the Keto Sabudana Vadas hot with your favorite keto-friendly chutney or a side of yogurt for an extra treat.
