Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 0.5 cup Hot water
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Ghee (or coconut oil for vegan option)
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground coriander
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chopped cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, coconut flour, salt, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Mix thoroughly to combine the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Slowly add hot water to the dry mixture while stirring with a spoon or spatula. Mix until the dough starts to come together.

Step 3

Using clean hands, knead the dough for about 2–3 minutes until smooth and pliable. If the dough feels too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of additional water. If it feels too sticky, sprinkle in a little more almond flour.

Step 4

Optionally, fold in the freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of fresh flavor.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball between your palms and place it between two sheets of parchment paper.

Step 6

Use a rolling pin to gently roll the dough into a circular shape, about 6 inches in diameter. (Do not roll too thin, as the dough may tear.)

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Add a small amount of ghee or coconut oil to grease the pan.

Step 8

Carefully place one rolled paratha onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1–2 minutes on the first side until golden brown spots appear, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes on the other side.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining dough portions, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 10

Serve the low-carb paratha warm with your favorite chutney, curry, or a side of yogurt for dipping.
