Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil or ghee
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds (optional)
• 4 tablespoons Butter or additional ghee for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Slowly add warm water to the flour mixture while stirring continuously until a rough dough starts to form.

Step 3

Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or ghee to the dough and knead until it's smooth and pliable. If desired, mix in chopped cilantro and cumin seeds for added flavor.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions and roll them into balls. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium heat.

Step 6

Roll one of the dough balls between two sheets of parchment paper or on a floured surface using a rolling pin, forming a circle about 6 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Brush the skillet with a small amount of butter or ghee and place the rolled-out dough onto the hot skillet.

Step 8

Cook the parantha for 2-3 minutes on one side until you see small bubbles forming and it turns golden brown.

Step 9

Flip the parantha and brush with more butter or ghee. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden and cooked through.

Step 10

Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 11

Serve the gluten-free paranthas hot with yogurt, pickles, or curry of your choice.
