In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, psyllium husk, instant yeast, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to avoid lumps, resulting in a smooth batter.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and eggs until well combined. Slowly incorporate this mixture into the batter, ensuring it is homogenous.
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes to allow the psyllium husk and flours to absorb the liquid, thickening the batter slightly.
Heat a non-stick appam pan or a dosa tawa over medium heat. Once hot, brush it lightly with olive oil or ghee.
Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the pan and quickly swirl the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly and thinly across the surface.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat until the edges start to brown slightly and the center appears cooked, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
Carefully remove the appam using a spatula and transfer it to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, re-greasing the pan as necessary.
Serve the Keto Appam hot with your favorite keto-friendly curry or chutney.
