Ingredients

• 1 cup Wholewheat flour
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the wholewheat flour, almond flour, psyllium husk, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2

Drizzle the olive oil into the dry ingredients, and slowly pour in the warm water a little at a time.

Step 3

Knead the mixture into a soft and pliable dough. Add more water (1 tablespoon at a time) if the dough feels dry, or sprinkle a little more wholewheat flour if it's too sticky.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the psyllium husk to absorb the moisture and helps the dough become easier to roll out.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Dust a clean surface or rolling board with a little wholewheat flour and roll out each ball into a thin, circular disc about 6-7 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium heat. Once hot, place one rolled-out chapati on the skillet and cook for 30-45 seconds until bubbles start to appear.

Step 8

Flip the chapati and cook the other side for another 30-45 seconds, pressing lightly with a spatula to ensure even cooking. You can cook it for a bit longer if you prefer slight charring or brown spots.

Step 9

Repeat the process for the rest of the dough balls, using the same method.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite low-carb curry, dip, or accompaniment.
