In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and then add them to the dry mixture. Stir until the mixture starts to come together and forms a dough-like consistency.
Gradually add the warm water to the dough while mixing. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky but firm enough to knead.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface (using almond flour) for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes pliable.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll each part into a ball. Cover with a damp cloth and let them rest for 10 minutes.
On a piece of parchment paper or a silicone mat, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
Brush a thin layer of ghee over the surface of the dough circle.
Starting from one edge, carefully fold the circle in a zig-zag manner, similar to a fan, until the dough is folded into a strip.
Roll the strip into a spiral shape, tucking the end underneath to secure it. Flatten lightly with your palm.
Repeat the brushing with ghee, folding, and rolling process with the remaining dough balls.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Gently flatten each spiral with a rolling pin to about 1/4 inch thickness before cooking.
Place each parotta in the hot skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from heat and serve hot, optionally with more melted ghee brushed on top.
