Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 inch piece Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 300 grams Fish fillets (such as cod), skinless and boneless
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 cup Cassava flour
• 0.25 cup Tapioca starch
• 0.25 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 large Egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and cumin seeds to the pan. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the coriander powder and turmeric, then add the fish fillets. Cook, breaking the fish apart with a spoon, until fully cooked and starting to flake, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Season the fish filling with salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix well and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large bowl, mix together the cassava flour, tapioca starch, and almond flour. Gradually add water and mix until a smooth dough forms.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll out each portion on a piece of parchment paper to form circles approximately 6 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Place a generous spoonful of the fish filling on one side of each dough circle. Fold the other side over to create a semi-circle and seal the edges, using the beaten egg as a glue if necessary.

Step 8

Heat the remaining coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas gently until golden brown on both sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 9

Drain the cooked samosas on paper towels and serve warm with your favorite Paleo-friendly sauce.
