Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 0.75 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, or walnuts)
• 1 pinch Saffron strands
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese (or paneer)
• 0.25 cup Desiccated coconut

Directions

Step 1

Begin by making the puri dough: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, and baking powder.

Step 2

Melt the coconut oil and add it to the dry ingredients along with water. Mix to form a dough. Knead well until smooth.

Step 3

Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of golf balls) and set aside, keeping them covered to retain moisture.

Step 4

Now, prepare the halwa: In a non-stick pan, melt butter and add ricotta cheese (or paneer) over medium heat. Stir continuously until the cheese mixture thickens and slightly toasts.

Step 5

To the pan, add erythritol (or your choice of sweetener), cardamom powder, saffron strands, desiccated coconut, and chopped nuts. Mix thoroughly and continue cooking until the mixture thickens and no longer sticks to the pan.

Step 6

Set the halwa aside to cool slightly.

Step 7

Heat oil in a frying pan for deep frying puris. Flatten each dough ball into a small circle using a rolling pin, ensuring they are evenly rolled for uniform puffing.

Step 8

Fry each puri in hot oil until golden brown and puffed on both sides. Once done, remove them and drain on paper towels.

Step 9

Serve the fresh puris immediately with warm halwa. Enjoy your low-carb version of halwa puri!
