Keto Tchvishtari (Cauliflower and Cheese Fritters)
Keto Georgian Cauliflower and Cheese Fritters
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no cornmeal or any other grain flour must be used. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Georgian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-friendly reimagining of Tchvishtari, the traditional Georgian cornmeal and cheese flatbread. This version uses finely riced cauliflower as the base, mixed with a generous amount of savory Georgian cheeses (like Imeruli or Sulguni), eggs, and seasonings, then pan-fried until golden and crispy.
Key ingredients
Cauliflower rice, grated Imeruli or Sulguni cheese, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, a pinch of baking powder (optional, for lightness), cooking oil (e.g., olive oil, butter, or ghee).
How to make it keto
Absolutely no cornmeal or any other grain flour must be used. Confirm cauliflower is the primary base. Request pan-frying rather than deep-frying in potentially high-carb breading.
Watch out for
Carbohydrates from cauliflower. Potential hidden sugars or starches if not explicitly customized.
