Ingredients

• 300 grams Cauliflower florets
• 100 grams Paneer (grated or crumbled)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 piece Green chilies (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Avocado oil (or other neutral oil for frying)
• 100 grams Greek yogurt (unsweetened, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Tamarind chutney (low-carb, store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons Mint chutney (low-carb, store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons Pomegranate seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
• 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Steam the cauliflower florets for about 7-10 minutes until tender. Let cool, then mash into a coarse texture using a fork or a food processor.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower, grated paneer, coconut flour, green chilies, cilantro, cumin powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well to form a dough-like consistency.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into flat, round patties (tikkis). If the mixture feels too soft, refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm it up.

Step 4

Heat 2-3 tablespoons of avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the tikkis in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp. Cook in batches if necessary, and add more oil if needed.

Step 5

Arrange the cooked tikkis on a serving plate. Drizzle the Greek yogurt, tamarind chutney, and mint chutney over the top.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chaat masala all over, followed by the chopped red onion and pomegranate seeds (if using) for garnish.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful low-carb Tikki Chaat!
