Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 2 tablespoons Ghee
• 3 tablespoons Warm water
• 0.5 cup Peanuts
• 1 teaspoon Coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 2 cups Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Add ghee and combine well.

Step 2

Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients and knead into a smooth dough. Cover the dough and set aside for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Roast the peanuts in a dry pan over medium heat until golden. Let them cool and coarsely grind them.

Step 4

In the same pan, dry roast coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and fennel seeds for a couple of minutes until they release their aroma. Crush them coarsely using a mortar and pestle.

Step 5

Mix the crushed seeds with ground peanuts, garam masala, red chili powder, chopped coriander leaves, and salt to create the filling mixture.

Step 6

Divide the dough into six equal portions and flatten each portion into a small disc using your hands.

Step 7

Place a tablespoon of the filling mixture in the center of each disc, then gather the edges to seal and shape into a ball. Flatten slightly to resemble traditional kachori.

Step 8

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium flame. Once the oil is hot, carefully slide the kachoris into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary.

Step 9

Fry each kachori until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Adjust the flame between medium-low to ensure even cooking without burning.

Step 10

Remove the kachoris using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the low carb kachoris hot with a side of yogurt or chutney.
