Keto Eggless Almond Four Yeasted Bread#SundayFunday

This is taste and has a texture like real bread, you can make garlic toast, pizzas and they were amazing. This is vegan, gluten free, low carb it has no eggy taste and toast perfectly. Used this bread even to make stuffing and it tasted so good. 

I made one small “boule” shape for the stuffing and put the remaining batter in a loaf tin.

Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
300 Grams Almond Flour
60 Grams Coconut flour
40 Grams Finely Ground Golden Flaxseed
45 Grams Finely Ground Psyllium Husks
14 Grams Baking Powder
12 Grams Instant Yeast
1½ Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
Wet Ingredients
45 Ml Apple Cider Vinegar
45 Ml Coconut or Olive Oil
460 Ml - 480 Ml Warm Water
Method
Preheat the oven at 100°C ,when the oven is heated switch it off and leave the light on. 

In a large bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed, psyllium husk and baking powder until well combined. In a small bowl, combine salt, yeast, warm water and stir until the salt is dissolved.
Add the apple cider vinegar, coconut oil and yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until the yeast is well combined and a dough is formed.

Shape the dough into a loaf and place into a loaf pan measuring 7x3.5x3" or any suitable pan lined with parchment paper. For Boule, mold the dough into a round shape. Sprinkle with 1 to 2 tsp arrowroot powder (optional) and make 3 cuts on the top of the dough.
Cover the dough loosely with a dry towel. Sprinkle some coconut flour on the top of dough to prevent it from sticking to the towel.

Pour sufficient boiling water into a baking dish that fits the oven. Place the baking dish with boiling water at the bottom of the oven and the dough above it. Close the oven door and let it proof for 1 hour. Do not open the oven door during the proofing process.

After an hour or so, remove the towel and the baking dish with water. Turn on the oven heat at 180°C to start the baking. It's not necessary to pre heat the oven.

Tent the bread pan with a foil for at least 45 minutes of baking. After 45 minutes remove the foil and continue to bake until a a wooden skewer inserted comes out clean and the top of bread should be hard and crusty. Internal temperature should be around 96 to 98°C. Turn off the oven, remove the bread from the pan and let it sit on a sheet pan with the parchment paper inside the oven for about 40 to 60 minutes. The residual heat will ensure the bread is properly cooked and the crumbs are drier.

Let this cool completely.  

Slice & Enjoy with jam or butter!!

Homemade Keto Chipotle Sauce

This easy Keto Chipotle Sauce is low-carb and keto-friendly, ready in 5 minutes it's a perfect dipping sauce or can even be used as a spread!

Ingredients
½ Cup Keto Mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons Sour Cream
1 Tablespoon Lime juice
2 Kashmiri Red Chillies - soaked in water
½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
¼ Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
Method

Remove the seeds from the red chillies if you want to reduce the heat. Blend the red chillies with slat, paprika, garlic powder and black pepper powder, then add the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, blend until the sauce is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more lime juice if you want it tangier or more chipotle if you want it spicier. 

Transfer the sauce to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Enjoy as a dipping sauce with any other keto-friendly appetizer.

My Notes

If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a bit more lime juice or a splash of water. Store the chipotle sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. This sauce adds a delicious smoky and spicy kick to your avocado fries and is versatile enough to be used with other keto-friendly snacks and dishes.

Keto Bacon Wrapped Avocado Fries#SundayFunday

Crispy bacon-wrapped avocado fries are so satisfying – perfect keto snack, appetizer, finger food for cravings! They are easy, high protein low-carb and use just two ingredients!
Keto Bacon Wrapped Avocado Fries are easy to make! Simply wrap slices of bacon around sliced but firm wedges of avocado.

Ingredients
3 Just Ripe But Firm Avocados
Slices of Bacon - as required
Hot Sauce - optional
Toothpicks (optional, for securing the bacon)
Method
Preheat the oven to 210°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Carefully peel the avocados and slice each half into 4 even wedges, resulting in 8 wedges per avocado.
Take each avocado slice and wrap a slice of bacon around it, starting at one end and wrapping towards the other end.
If necessary, use a toothpick to secure the bacon in place. Place the bacon-wrapped avocado slices on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching. Drizzle hot sauce on each. 

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and browned. You may need to turn the slices halfway through to ensure even cooking. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the avocado fries cool slightly before serving. 

Enjoy them on their own or with a dipping sauce like a keto-friendly ranch or spicy mayo.

My Notes 

For some of the smaller slices, I used half a slice of bacon, and on some of the larger ones, I used a whole piece. This will be up to you and how large your avocados are.

Shami Kebabs#AlphabetChallenge

This is a quick & easy method of making Shami kebabs. In this boiled dal is used since it will make this easy and cooks quickly, and the flavor because of overcooking is lost if we use uncooked dal. These kebabs are so soft and delicious.

Serves 8

Makes around 15 to 16
Ingredients
1 Tablespoon Oil
½ kg Beef Mince - can use Lamb/Mutton/Chicken
125 Grams Chana Dal - soaked
1 Inch Big Piece Ginger - roughly chopped
5 Cloves Garlic - roughly chopped
6 - 8 Whole Red Chilies - do not break them into pieces
2 Medium Onion - sliced
3 Green chilies - finely chopped
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup Water 
Whole Spices
2 Cinnamon Sticks - make small pieces
10 Cloves
3 Brown Cardamoms
4 Green Cardamoms
1/2 Teaspoon Cumin Seeds
1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper corns
1 Bay Leaf
Other Ingredients
2 Tablespoons Coriander leaves- finely chopped
2 Tablespoons Mint leaves - finely chopped
For Frying
2 Eggs - lightly beaten
Oil as required

Method

In a pressure pan add the soaked and washed chana dal and cook till the dal is done but yet firm. Drain and keep aside.

In a same pressure pan heat oil add ginger, garlic and mince fry well on medium low flame, then add all whole spices, Kashmiri red chillies, onions, green chillies, add boiled gram dal, then fry well add salt , water and cover it with a lid and let it cook till the mince is done. Open the lid and dry up all the water. The mince should be dry and free of moisture. Cool it then grind it in small mixer jar little quantity at a time till it forms a smooth paste, Take it out on to bowl now feel for any whole spices ( because the some of the spices do not grind to a paste, however much time you will grind it) remove and discard them. Mix all well taste for salt, add finely coriander leaves and mix well.

Divide this into equal portions and roll it into a ball then flatten and make slightly thick kebabs. Smoothen the edges. Like wise make all and keep aside. At this stage you can freeze them ( see notes) .
For Frying 

Heat oil in broad frying pan.
In another bowl beat eggs add and pinch of salt and red chilly powder.
Dip each kebab in egg mixture, fry till golden on medium high flame on both sides. Serve with onion, tomato rings and sprinkle of mint leaves.

These are so soft and mouth melting, handle them gently while serving. Enjoy with green chutney or Sriracha sauce.

My Notes

At this stage you can freeze ( see notes) them in a single layer in a tray when they harden then store in a airtight container.
When you want to fry them., Dip them egg and shallow fry in hot oil. ( all is cooked so fry in hot oil) Do not thaw them or else it will disintegrate when you are frying.
