Ingredients
- 500 grams Cauliflower florets
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets until they are tender — about 8-10 minutes. Once steamed, drain and allow them to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mash the cauliflower until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Step 3
Add the grated cheddar cheese and mix until well combined.
Step 4
Beat the egg and add it to the cauliflower-cheese mixture.
Step 5
Season with coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Stir in freshly chopped cilantro.
Step 6
Mix in the almond flour ensuring the mixture has a cohesive, dough-like consistency.
Step 7
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round, flat patty or tikki.
Step 8
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Step 9
Place the tikkis into the pan. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Step 10
Remove from the pan and let them rest on a paper towel to soak up any excess oil.
Step 11
Serve warm as a snack or appetizer with your choice of chutney or yogurt dip.
