Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 0.25 cup Arrowroot powder
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 medium Potatoes
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 1 small, chopped Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam it until tender. Drain any excess water and transfer to a food processor. Blend until it forms a smooth rice-like texture.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a clean cloth or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess moisture as much as possible.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, arrowroot powder, egg, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to form a dough. If too sticky, add a little more arrowroot powder.

Step 5

Peel and boil the potatoes until soft. Drain and mash them in a bowl.

Step 6

In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds.

Step 7

Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger to the pan. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 8

Add coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt to the onion mixture. Cook for another minute.

Step 9

Mix in the mashed potatoes and green peas. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat and add cilantro and lemon juice. Mix well and let cool slightly.

Step 10

Divide the cauliflower dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion between two sheets of parchment paper into a circle about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 11

Cut each rolled-out dough circle in half and form a cone shape. Stuff each cone with the aloo filling and press the edges to seal, using a little water if necessary.

Step 12

Place the samosas on the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil on top.

Step 13

Bake the samosas in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.

Step 14

Serve warm with your favorite low-carb chutney or yogurt dip.
