Ingredients

• 200 grams Paneer
• 100 grams Almond Flour
• 50 grams Flaxseed Meal
• 10 grams Psyllium Husk
• 60 milliliters Water
• 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
• 1 small, finely chopped Green Chili
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh Coriander
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Ghee

Directions

Step 1

Grate the paneer using a medium grater and set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix almond flour, flaxseed meal, and psyllium husk.

Step 3

Gradually add water to the dry mix and knead until a soft, pliable dough forms. You might not need all the water, use just enough to achieve the desired dough consistency.

Step 4

Cover the dough and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to absorb moisture.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine grated paneer, cumin powder, green chili, fresh coriander, and salt. Mix well to prepare the stuffing.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball.

Step 7

Take one dough ball and flatten it into a small disc using your hands or a rolling pin, about 4 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Place 1/4th of the paneer mixture in the center of the disc.

Step 9

Gently fold the edges of the disc over the paneer stuffing and pinch to seal.

Step 10

Flatten the stuffed ball again gently to form a paratha, about 6 inches in diameter. Use additional almond flour if needed to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little ghee.

Step 12

Place the paratha on the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, until golden spots appear.

Step 13

Flip the paratha, apply a little more ghee, and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 14

Repeat the process for the remaining dough and stuffing.

Step 15

Serve hot with yogurt or your favorite low-carb pickle.
