Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or oil
- 1 cup Frozen green peas
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Amchur (dried mango powder)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 small Green chili, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for matar)
- 0.25 teaspoon Chaat masala
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Stir in the Greek yogurt and egg, mixing until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough lightly with your hands, ensuring it's firm enough to roll. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more almond flour.
Divide the dough into eight equal parts and roll each into a ball.
Flatten each ball into a disk shape, about 1/4-inch thick, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each disk lightly with ghee or oil and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through the baking time.
Meanwhile, prepare the matar curry by boiling the green peas in 1/4 cup of water for about 5 minutes or until soft. Drain any excess water.
Heat a tablespoon of ghee or oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the boiled peas, cumin powder, coriander powder, amchur, garam masala, chopped chili, and salt to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and mix in the chopped cilantro, lemon juice, and chaat masala. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve the freshly baked low-carb kulchas warm, accompanied by the flavorful matar curry. Enjoy!
