Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Onion
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 medium Green chili
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, and salt.

Step 2

Add water gradually, stirring continuously to form a smooth, flowing batter without lumps.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion and green chili. Add them along with cumin seeds and coriander leaves to the batter. Mix well.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly, allowing the flours to absorb the water.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or a dosa tawa over medium heat and add a few drops of olive oil.

Step 6

Once the pan is hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the pan.

Step 7

Using the back of the ladle, gently spread the batter in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.

Step 8

Drizzle a few drops of olive oil around and on top of the dosa.

Step 9

Cook until the edges start to lift up and the bottom turns golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Gently flip the dosa and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is also golden.

Step 11

Remove from the pan and serve hot with sambar or coconut chutney for a delightful low-carb meal.

Step 12

Repeat with the remaining batter, stirring occasionally to keep it well mixed.
