Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Green chilies, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
Add warm water gradually, mixing the dough with your hands. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and pliable. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more almond flour.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes. This will help the psyllium husk to absorb the moisture and bind the dough together better.
After resting the dough, divide it into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Flatten each ball slightly and drizzle a little ghee or coconut oil on top. Sprinkle cumin seeds, chopped cilantro, green chilies, and ground turmeric onto each piece and gently fold in the edges.
Roll each ball again to incorporate the spices and make a smooth ball.
Using a rolling pin, gently roll out each ball to form a disc of approximately 6 inches in diameter. Sprinkle some almond flour on the rolling surface to prevent sticking if necessary.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little ghee or coconut oil.
Once the skillet is hot, place the rolled-out paratha onto the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side, or until brown spots appear. Flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes.
Once both sides are cooked and crisp, remove from the skillet and keep warm in a covered dish while you repeat with the remaining dough.
Serve hot with your choice of low-carb sides or chutneys and enjoy the delicious flavors of these low-carb parathas.
