Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup tapioca starch
• 0.5 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons ghee
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ginger powder
• 0.25 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, and sea salt. Add coconut milk and ghee. Mix until a dough forms, adding up to 2 tablespoons of water if the dough is too dry.

Step 3

3. Knead the dough gently on a flat surface until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.

Step 4

4. Peel and finely chop the large yellow onion.

Step 5

5. Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds.

Step 6

6. Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

7. Stir in ground coriander, turmeric powder, garlic powder, ginger powder, and chili powder. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring well to combine the spices with the onions.

Step 8

8. Remove the pan from heat and fold in chopped fresh cilantro and lemon juice. Let the filling mixture cool slightly.

Step 9

9. Divide the dough into 12 equal parts. Roll each into a ball and then flatten into a round disc, about 4 inches in diameter.

Step 10

10. Place a teaspoon of the onion filling in the center of each disc. Fold the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle and press the edges to seal, crimping with a fork if desired.

Step 11

11. Place the samosas on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

Step 12

12. Allow the samosas to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a snack or appetizer.
