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