Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Hot water
- 0.25 cup Carrot (grated)
- 0.25 cup Spinach (chopped)
- 0.33 cup Paneer (crumbled, can be substituted with tofu for vegan option)
- 1 small Green chilies (finely chopped, optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add hot water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously, until a firm dough forms. Knead the dough for a minute, then cover it with a damp cloth and set aside for 10 minutes.
To prepare the filling, combine grated carrot, chopped spinach, crumbled paneer (or tofu for vegan), green chilies (if using), cumin powder, garam masala, and cilantro in a bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Place a ball of dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out gently with a rolling pin to form a small circle, about 5-6 inches in diameter.
Place a portion of the filling in the center of the rolled-out dough. Bring the edges together to seal the filling inside, forming a pouch.
Gently flatten the stuffed dough ball and roll it out again between parchment paper, being careful not to tear the dough.
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a little ghee or coconut oil.
Carefully transfer the rolled-out stuffed paratha to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or a low-carb dipping sauce of your choice!
