Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Ghee (or butter for cooking)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Slowly add the water to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously until a dough starts to form. The psyllium husk will help bind the dough, making it pliable.
Knead the dough gently until it becomes smooth and consistent. If the dough feels too sticky, add a tiny bit more almond flour.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll them into balls.
Place a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and place one dough ball on it. Flatten it slightly with your hand, then cover it with another piece of parchment paper.
Roll out the dough ball with a rolling pin into a circular shape, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little ghee or butter.
Place the rolled-out dough onto the hot pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until small bubbles form and the bottom is golden brown.
Flip the paratha and cook for another 2-3 minutes, adding more ghee or butter if needed, until both sides are golden brown.
Repeat the cooking process for the remaining dough portions.
Serve the low-carb parathas warm with your choice of side or dip, such as yogurt or chutney.
