Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Flaxseed meal
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk
- 1 teaspoon Ajwain seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Hot water
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil (for cooking)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine flaxseed meal, almond flour, psyllium husk, ajwain seeds, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Step 2
Slowly add the hot water to the dry ingredients while stirring continually. Mix until a smooth, pliable dough forms. If the dough seems too sticky, you can add a touch more almond flour.
Step 3
Let the dough rest for about 5 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to absorb the water completely and make the dough more manageable.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly between your palms.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat and brush it lightly with ghee or coconut oil.
Step 6
Place one of the flattened dough balls onto a piece of parchment paper. Gently roll it out with a rolling pin into a circle as thin as you can manage without tearing—about 6-8 inches in diameter. Use a bit of almond flour on the rolling pin if needed to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Carefully lift the rolled dough using the parchment paper and place it onto the hot skillet.
Step 8
Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, brushing with a little more ghee or oil, until golden brown spots appear and the chapati is cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the chapati from the skillet and keep it warm by covering with a clean kitchen towel while you prepare the remaining chapatis.
Step 10
Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough portions.
Step 11
Serve these low carb ajwain chapatis warm with your favorite curry or a dollop of yogurt.
