Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ghee or butter (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, almond flour, psyllium husk, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Gradually add the warm water to the flour mixture, a little at a time, while mixing with your hand or a spoon. Once the dough starts to come together, add the olive oil and knead it into the dough.
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is soft and pliable. If the dough feels too dry, add an extra teaspoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes. Resting helps hydrate the flours and makes the chapatis easier to roll out.
After resting, divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape them into small balls.
Lightly flour a clean surface and a rolling pin. Flatten one dough ball and roll it out into a thin, circular sheet (approximately 6-7 inches in diameter). Repeat for the remaining dough balls.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, place a rolled-out chapati onto the skillet. Cook for 30-40 seconds until bubbles start to form, then flip the chapati.
Cook the other side for another 30-40 seconds, pressing gently with a spatula or a clean cloth to ensure even cooking. Flip once more and cook for a few more seconds if needed, until you see golden brown spots on both sides.
Remove the chapati from the skillet and keep it warm in a clean kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Optionally, brush the cooked chapatis with a little ghee or butter before serving. Serve warm with your favorite low-carb curry or topping.
