Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Flour
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium Husk Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.75 cup Hot Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add hot water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough forms. The dough should be soft and pliable.
Add olive oil to the dough and knead it for about 2-3 minutes until the oil is fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Place a sheet of parchment paper on your work surface and lightly dust it with almond flour. Place one dough ball on top and cover it with another sheet of parchment paper.
Using a rolling pin, gently roll the dough into a thin circle approximately 6-7 inches in diameter.
Repeat the rolling process for the remaining dough balls.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter.
Cook each paratha one at a time. Place the rolled paratha onto the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat the cooking process for the remaining parathas, adding butter as needed.
Serve the low-carb Malabar parathas hot with your choice of curry or dip.
