Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Water
- 1 Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or olive oil
- 0.5 Red onion, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, add the almond flour, egg, and water. Whisk well until smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 2
Finely chop the green chili and red onion. Add them to the batter along with cumin seeds, salt, turmeric powder, carom seeds, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of ghee or olive oil.
Step 4
Once the ghee is hot, pour a ladleful of the batter onto the skillet and spread it out evenly to form a thin pancake-like shape.
Step 5
Cook the chilla for about 2-3 minutes on one side until edges start to brown and it is cooked halfway through.
Step 6
Carefully flip the chilla using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Repeat the cooking process for the remaining batter, adding more ghee or olive oil as needed.
Step 8
Serve the Keto Besan Chilla hot with a side of mint chutney or plain yogurt.
