Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 0.5 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 cups warm water
  • 0.5 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or ghee

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, psyllium husk, instant yeast, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to avoid lumps, resulting in a smooth batter.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and eggs until well combined. Slowly incorporate this mixture into the batter, ensuring it is homogenous.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes to allow the psyllium husk and flours to absorb the liquid, thickening the batter slightly.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick appam pan or a dosa tawa over medium heat. Once hot, brush it lightly with olive oil or ghee.

Step 6

Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the pan and quickly swirl the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly and thinly across the surface.

Step 7

Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat until the edges start to brown slightly and the center appears cooked, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully remove the appam using a spatula and transfer it to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, re-greasing the pan as necessary.

Step 9

Serve the Keto Appam hot with your favorite keto-friendly curry or chutney.
