Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder (for binding & texture)
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or ghee (clarified butter)
- ¼–⅓ cup warm water (adjust as needed)
- Optional: pinch of baking powder (for fluffier chapati)
Instructions
- Prepare Dough → In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, salt, and baking powder (if using). Add olive oil/ghee and mix. Slowly add warm water, kneading until a soft dough forms (not sticky).
- Rest Dough → Cover and let rest 5–10 minutes to let psyllium absorb moisture.
- Shape Chapatis → Divide dough into 6 small balls. Dust rolling surface with almond/coconut flour. Roll each ball into a thin circle (6–8 inches). Use parchment paper for easier rolling.
- Cook → Heat a non-stick pan/tawa over medium heat. Place chapati on hot surface, cook 1–2 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook the other side 1–2 minutes. Press lightly for even cooking.
- Finish & Serve → Optionally brush with ghee for flavor. Serve warm with keto curry, raita, or as a wrap.
