Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dry red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 2 tablespoons Grated coconut
- 1 teaspoon Tamarind paste
- 1 teaspoon Sugar substitute
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, salt, and baking powder.
Add 2 tablespoons of oil and mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add 4 tablespoons of water, mixing until you have a soft, pliable dough. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
In a pan, dry roast the cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and sesame seeds over medium heat until fragrant. Let them cool.
Add the grated coconut to the pan and roast it lightly. Be careful not to brown it too much.
In a grinder, combine the roasted seeds and coconut, coriander powder, dry red chili powder, tamarind paste, and sugar substitute. Grind into a coarse powder.
Take the rested dough and roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper into a thin rectangle.
Spread the spice mixture evenly on the rolled-out dough, pressing it lightly with a spoon.
Carefully roll the dough into a tight log starting from one end, using the parchment paper to help you.
Cut the log into 1/4-inch thick slices using a sharp knife.
Place the slices flat onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
