In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca starch, and ground flaxseed. Mix well.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, and salt into the flour mixture and stir to combine.
Add warm water slowly while mixing with your hands until the dough comes together. It should be soft but not sticky.
Knead the dough lightly for about 2 minutes, then cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal balls.
Place a ball of dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out into a circle about 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with all dough balls.
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil.
Place one rolled paratha in the pan and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown, adding a bit more ghee while cooking if needed.
Transfer the cooked paratha to a plate lined with paper towels and repeat with the remaining dough.
Once all parathas are cooked, brush them lightly with olive oil or melted ghee and sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro on top.
Serve the parathas warm with your favorite Whole30 compliant sides or dips.
