Ingredients

• 2 cups Cassava flour (plus extra for rolling)
• 0.5 cups Arrowroot flour
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
• 0.25 cup Water (warm)
• 1 tablespoon Avocado oil (plus extra for cooking)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds (optional, for added flavor)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine cassava flour, arrowroot flour, and salt. If using cumin seeds, add them as well.

Step 2

Add coconut milk, warm water, and avocado oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough begins to come together.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead for 3-4 minutes until smooth and pliable. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle in a little extra cassava flour, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to prevent drying.

Step 5

Lightly dust a clean surface with cassava flour. Roll one dough ball into a thin circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough balls, keeping the rolled-out parathas separated with parchment paper.

Step 6

Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, brush lightly with avocado oil.

Step 7

Cook one paratha at a time. Place the rolled-out dough onto the hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form and the underside develops golden-brown spots.

Step 8

Flip the paratha and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, brushing with a little avocado oil if necessary for even cooking.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining parathas, keeping the cooked ones warm by stacking them under a clean kitchen towel.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired, alongside Whole30-compliant dips or curries.
