Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk
- 0.25 cup Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Carom seeds (Ajwain)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and psyllium husk. Mix well to ensure the flours are fully integrated.
Add carom seeds, cumin seeds, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the dry ingredients. Stir to evenly distribute the spices.
Next, add the ghee to the dry mixture. Using your fingers, mix together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly firm but pliable.
Divide the dough into 24 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small ball, then flatten it with your palms to form a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the discs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each Mathri.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Monitor closely to prevent over-browning.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
