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

  1. 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).

  2. Rest Dough → Cover and let rest 5–10 minutes to let psyllium absorb moisture.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Finish & Serve → Optionally brush with ghee for flavor. Serve warm with keto curry, raita, or as a wrap.
