Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ghee or butter (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, almond flour, psyllium husk, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water to the flour mixture, a little at a time, while mixing with your hand or a spoon. Once the dough starts to come together, add the olive oil and knead it into the dough.

Step 3

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is soft and pliable. If the dough feels too dry, add an extra teaspoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes. Resting helps hydrate the flours and makes the chapatis easier to roll out.

Step 5

After resting, divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape them into small balls.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean surface and a rolling pin. Flatten one dough ball and roll it out into a thin, circular sheet (approximately 6-7 inches in diameter). Repeat for the remaining dough balls.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, place a rolled-out chapati onto the skillet. Cook for 30-40 seconds until bubbles start to form, then flip the chapati.

Step 8

Cook the other side for another 30-40 seconds, pressing gently with a spatula or a clean cloth to ensure even cooking. Flip once more and cook for a few more seconds if needed, until you see golden brown spots on both sides.

Step 9

Remove the chapati from the skillet and keep it warm in a clean kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Step 10

Optionally, brush the cooked chapatis with a little ghee or butter before serving. Serve warm with your favorite low-carb curry or topping.
