In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, and salt.
Add water gradually, stirring continuously to form a smooth, flowing batter without lumps.
Finely chop the onion and green chili. Add them along with cumin seeds and coriander leaves to the batter. Mix well.
Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly, allowing the flours to absorb the water.
Heat a non-stick skillet or a dosa tawa over medium heat and add a few drops of olive oil.
Once the pan is hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the pan.
Using the back of the ladle, gently spread the batter in a circular motion to form a thin dosa.
Drizzle a few drops of olive oil around and on top of the dosa.
Cook until the edges start to lift up and the bottom turns golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently flip the dosa and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is also golden.
Remove from the pan and serve hot with sambar or coconut chutney for a delightful low-carb meal.
Repeat with the remaining batter, stirring occasionally to keep it well mixed.
