Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full fat)
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
Add the Greek yogurt and gradually pour in the water while whisking to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
Mix in the baking soda and lemon juice. The batter should have a pouring consistency, similar to traditional dosa batter. Allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes for the psyllium husk to slightly thicken the mixture.
Heat a non-stick skillet or dosa pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot pan and spread it in a circular motion, starting from the center and moving outward, to form a thin pancake.
Cook the thosai on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges lift easily and the bottom turns golden brown. If needed, add a few drops of oil around the edges to help achieve crispness.
Carefully flip the thosai with a spatula and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove the thosai from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary.
Serve hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or your favorite low-carb accompaniment.
