Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full fat)
• 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1.5 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Oil (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 2

Add the Greek yogurt and gradually pour in the water while whisking to create a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 3

Mix in the baking soda and lemon juice. The batter should have a pouring consistency, similar to traditional dosa batter. Allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes for the psyllium husk to slightly thicken the mixture.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil.

Step 5

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot pan and spread it in a circular motion, starting from the center and moving outward, to form a thin pancake.

Step 6

Cook the thosai on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges lift easily and the bottom turns golden brown. If needed, add a few drops of oil around the edges to help achieve crispness.

Step 7

Carefully flip the thosai with a spatula and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned.

Step 8

Remove the thosai from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary.

Step 9

Serve hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or your favorite low-carb accompaniment.
