Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Ghee (or butter for cooking)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
Slowly add the water to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously until a dough starts to form. The psyllium husk will help bind the dough, making it pliable.
Step 3
Knead the dough gently until it becomes smooth and consistent. If the dough feels too sticky, add a tiny bit more almond flour.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll them into balls.
Step 5
Place a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and place one dough ball on it. Flatten it slightly with your hand, then cover it with another piece of parchment paper.
Step 6
Roll out the dough ball with a rolling pin into a circular shape, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Step 7
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little ghee or butter.
Step 8
Place the rolled-out dough onto the hot pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until small bubbles form and the bottom is golden brown.
Step 9
Flip the paratha and cook for another 2-3 minutes, adding more ghee or butter if needed, until both sides are golden brown.
Step 10
Repeat the cooking process for the remaining dough portions.
Step 11
Serve the low-carb parathas warm with your choice of side or dip, such as yogurt or chutney.
