Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 500 grams ground chicken
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.75 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves (cilantro), chopped
• 500 grams cauliflower florets
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
• 100 grams almond flour
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir and sauté for another 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the spices - cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) and set the mixture aside to cool.

Step 7

Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and pat dry to remove excess moisture.

Step 8

Place the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until it reaches a rice-like consistency.

Step 9

Transfer the cauliflower to a clean cloth or nut milk bag and squeeze out excess moisture.

Step 10

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, arrowroot powder, and almond flour. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 11

Divide the dough into small balls, about 2 tablespoons each. Flatten each ball into a disc, about 4 inches in diameter.

Step 12

Place 1-2 tablespoons of the chicken filling onto each disc. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal.

Step 13

Place the samosas on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 14

Brush the samosas with the remaining coconut oil.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 16

Allow to cool slightly before serving.
