Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Green chilies, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
Step 2
Add warm water gradually, mixing the dough with your hands. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and pliable. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more almond flour.
Step 3
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes. This will help the psyllium husk to absorb the moisture and bind the dough together better.
Step 4
After resting the dough, divide it into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 5
Flatten each ball slightly and drizzle a little ghee or coconut oil on top. Sprinkle cumin seeds, chopped cilantro, green chilies, and ground turmeric onto each piece and gently fold in the edges.
Step 6
Roll each ball again to incorporate the spices and make a smooth ball.
Step 7
Using a rolling pin, gently roll out each ball to form a disc of approximately 6 inches in diameter. Sprinkle some almond flour on the rolling surface to prevent sticking if necessary.
Step 8
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little ghee or coconut oil.
Step 9
Once the skillet is hot, place the rolled-out paratha onto the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side, or until brown spots appear. Flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes.
Step 10
Once both sides are cooked and crisp, remove from the skillet and keep warm in a covered dish while you repeat with the remaining dough.
Step 11
Serve hot with your choice of low-carb sides or chutneys and enjoy the delicious flavors of these low-carb parathas.
