Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, ground flaxseeds, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 2

Gradually add water to the dry ingredients while stirring continuously to create a smooth and pourable batter. Adjust the amount of water if needed to reach a consistency similar to traditional pancake batter.

Step 3

Allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes. This resting period allows the psyllium husk and flaxseeds to absorb some of the water, thickening the batter slightly.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or a traditional dosai tawa over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a little ghee or coconut oil.

Step 5

Using a ladle, pour a portion of the batter onto the heated skillet. Spread it outwards in a circular motion to form a thin pancake.

Step 6

Cook the dosai for about 2-3 minutes on one side until the edges start to lift and small bubbles appear on the surface.

Step 7

Gently flip the dosai to the other side using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the dosai from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet between each dosai as needed.

Step 9

Serve the low carb dosai hot with a side of your choice of chutney or sambar.
