Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Coconut flour
- 0.5 cups Tapioca starch
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca starch, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a saucepan, bring water and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to a boil.
Slowly pour the hot water mix into the flour mixture, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
Allow the dough to cool slightly, then knead gently by hand until smooth. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball between two sheets of parchment paper into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. The dough should be thin but not tearing.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Add a small amount of ghee.
Place one of the rolled parathas onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the paratha and lightly brush with ghee, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining dough balls, adding more ghee to the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite Whole30 compliant dish or enjoy them on their own.
