Method of cooking keto samosa

For the filling:

4. Stir in the coriander. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add salt to taste.

For the dough:

1. Set up a double boiler. Can use a large sauce pan with about 1 1/2-2 inches of water in it and a medium mixing bowl that fits on top.
2. Bring the water in the lower part of the double boiler to a simmer over high heat. Once it is simmering, turn heat to low.
3. Meanwhile, place the almond flour, cumin, salt, and mozzarella in the top part of the double boiler. Stir together.
4. Stirring the mixture constantly, heat until the mozzarella cheese melts and the mixture forms a dough.
5. Turn the dough out onto one of the pieces of parchment and knead a few times to equally distribute the ingredients. Shape the dough into a small bowls (peda) and make a roti out of it.
