Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 1.5 cups Hot water
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 cup Cilantro leaves
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 1 small Green chili
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or butter

Directions

Step 1

Break the cauliflower into florets and grate them using a food processor or a large hole grater.

Step 2

Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated cauliflower using a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Finely chop the ginger, green chili, and cilantro leaves.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.

Step 5

Gradually add hot water to the flour mixture while stirring continuously until it forms a dough. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add grated cauliflower and cook until it loses more moisture and becomes soft.

Step 7

Add the remaining salt, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric, red chili powder, chopped ginger, green chili, and cilantro to the cauliflower. Cook for another 2-3 minutes and set aside to cool.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.

Step 9

Flatten a dough ball slightly and add approximately 2 tablespoons of the cauliflower mixture to the center.

Step 10

Carefully gather the edges of the dough over the filling to seal it and shape it back into a ball.

Step 11

Gently flatten the filled dough ball between your palms and roll it out into a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter using a rolling pin, dusting with a little almond or coconut flour if needed.

Step 12

Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Grease lightly with olive oil.

Step 13

Place one rolled paratha onto the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden spots appear on the bottom. Flip and apply a small amount of ghee or butter, cooking the other side similarly.

Step 14

Repeat with the remaining dough, cauliflower filling, and oil.

Step 15

Serve the low-carb alu paratha hot with yogurt or chutney.
