Aqras Bathenjan (Keto Modified)
Keto Eggplant and Meat Patties
Yes, with a tweak: replace wheat flour with a minimal amount of almond flour for binding. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A keto-friendly take on traditional eggplant patties. Grated or mashed roasted eggplant is mixed with seasoned ground lamb or beef, an egg, and a minimal amount of almond flour for binding, then pan-fried until golden. These savory patties are a delicious way to enjoy eggplant without the high carbs of traditional fritters.
Key ingredients
Eggplant, ground lamb/beef, egg, almond flour (minimal), olive oil, garlic, parsley, allspice, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Replace wheat flour with a minimal amount of almond flour for binding. Ensure eggplant is properly cooked (roasted/steamed) and drained to reduce moisture before mixing. Avoid any breadcrumbs.
Watch out for
Using too much almond flour or other non-keto binders. Eggplant can be moderately carb-dense if consumed in very large quantities (net ~3g/100g).
