In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add water to them. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients gradually, stirring continuously to make a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to absorb some moisture and thicken the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or a flat griddle over medium heat and add a little ghee to grease the surface.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and gently spread it into a circle of about 10-12 cm diameter.
Sprinkle a portion of chopped onion, green chili, and coriander leaves onto the batter. Press them gently into the batter using the back of a spoon.
Drizzle a little ghee around the edges of the Uttapam to help it cook and crisp up.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until the edges start to lift slightly and the bottom is golden brown.
Flip the Uttapam carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter and topping ingredients, adding more ghee to the skillet as needed.
Serve the Keto Onion Uttapam hot with coconut chutney or yogurt on the side.
