Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup tapioca flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup yogurt (coconut or almond, unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup coconut oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the unsweetened coconut or almond yogurt and olive oil to the dry mixture. Gradually pour in the water as you mix. Knead the dough until it comes together and is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
Using a rolling pin, gently roll out each ball into a circle about 4-5 inches in diameter. Ensure they are not too thin as this might cause them to break while frying.
Heat the coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a tiny piece of dough into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the surface quickly, the oil is ready.
Gently slide one rolled-out dough into the hot oil. Fry on one side until it puffs up and is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Flip and fry the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden.
Remove the bhature from the oil using a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions.
Serve hot with Paleo-friendly Chole or any curry of your choice.
