Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.25 cups coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup butter
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1 tablespoon plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons ghee (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, and erythritol. Stir well to combine all dry ingredients.

Step 3

Add cold butter into the dry mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together sour cream, egg, and ground cardamom.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the flour and butter mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface (using coconut flour), roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out circles from the dough.

Step 7

Place the circles onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently reshape them to retain their round shape, if needed.

Step 8

Mix yogurt and water in a small bowl. Brush each dough circle with the yogurt mixture to add a glossy texture.

Step 9

Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the Bakar Khani is golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Once baked, remove from the oven and brush with melted ghee to give them a rich finish.

Step 11

Allow to cool before serving. Enjoy as a delightfully crispy and low-carb treat.
