Delight your taste buds with this creative twist on a traditional Indian favorite — Low Carb Dal Papad. This guilt-free version uses a blend of urad dal flour and almond flour, making it ideal for those following low-carb or gluten-free diets. Flavored with aromatic caraway seeds, a hint of red chili, and a subtle touch of asafoetida, these crispy papads are packed with both nutrition and bold taste. The dough is rolled out thinly to achieve a perfect crunch, then cooked on a hot griddle to golden perfection. With just 15 minutes of cooking time, these irresistible papads pair wonderfully with your favorite chutney or serve as a crunchy side to elevate any meal. Perfect for health-conscious snackers, this recipe combines traditional flavors with a modern, low-carb twist.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the urad dal flour, almond flour, caraway seeds, red chili powder, asafoetida, and salt.
Gradually add water and start kneading the mixture into a firm dough. The dough should not be sticky, and you may adjust the water quantity as needed.
Once the dough is ready, divide it into small lemon-sized balls.
Take a rolling board and using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball into a thin circular disc, about 5 inches in diameter. The discs should be as thin as possible to achieve a crispy texture.
Heat a tawa (flat griddle) on medium flame and lightly grease it with a bit of oil.
Place one papad on the hot tawa. Cook it on low flame to ensure even cooking, flipping it over to cook both sides until they are crisp and light golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Once all the papads are cooked, allow them to cool completely before storing to maintain their crispness.
Serve these delicious low carb dal papads with your favorite chutney or as a side with a meal.
