Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 large Egg
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Warm water
• 1 cup Cauliflower florets (finely chopped)
• 1 cup Spinach (chopped)
• 0.25 cup Green peas (optional, for keto-friendly serving, omit or substitute with diced zucchini)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Add the egg, melted butter, and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix well to form a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough chills, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add cauliflower, spinach, and peas (if using) to the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables soften. Stir in cumin, garam masala, turmeric, cayenne pepper (if desired), and salt.

Step 6

Remove the filling from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Optionally, mix in chopped cilantro for added flavor.

Step 7

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a circular disc between two sheets of parchment paper.

Step 8

Place about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling in the center of each disc. Fold the circle into a semi-circle and pinch the edges closed to seal, forming a crescent shape. Repeat for all portions.

Step 9

Carefully arrange the samosas on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a bit of olive oil for extra crispiness.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 11

Allow the samosas to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired, and enjoy with a low-carb dipping sauce of your choice (e.g., mint chutney or yogurt dip).
