Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk
• 0.25 cup Ghee
• 1 teaspoon Carom seeds (Ajwain)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 3 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and psyllium husk. Mix well to ensure the flours are fully integrated.

Step 3

Add carom seeds, cumin seeds, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the dry ingredients. Stir to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 4

Next, add the ghee to the dry mixture. Using your fingers, mix together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly firm but pliable.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 24 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small ball, then flatten it with your palms to form a disc about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Place the discs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each Mathri.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Monitor closely to prevent over-browning.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.

Step 10

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
