My Personal Experience

When I first ventured into keto baking, the idea of making a keto-friendly chapati felt daunting. But once I tried this recipe, I was hooked! The texture is so close to the real thing, and it’s perfect for scooping up creamy curries or making a quick keto wrap. Every time I serve this, even non-keto friends ask for the recipe. Trust me, this one’s a keeper!

Required Equipment

• Mixing Bowl: A sturdy mixing bowl makes combining ingredients effortless. I always reach for one that’s easy to clean and just the right size for small batches.
• Rolling Pin: To achieve that perfect flat shape, a good rolling pin is essential. I prefer one that feels balanced and comfortable in hand—it makes rolling a breeze.
• Non-Stick Pan: A must-have for cooking chapati. The non-stick surface ensures even cooking without sticking, making cleanup a snap.
• Spatula: For flipping the chapati, a flexible spatula is your best friend. It makes the process seamless, especially when dealing with delicate dough.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• 1 cup almond flour: The star ingredient, providing a nutty flavor and low-carb profile. Coconut flour is not recommended as a substitute due to its absorbency.
• 2 tbsp psyllium husk: Helps bind the dough and gives it a stretchy texture. If unavailable, ground flaxseed may work, but the texture will differ.
• 1/4 tsp baking powder: Adds a slight puff to the chapati.
• 1/4 tsp salt: Enhances flavor. Adjust to taste.
• 1 tbsp olive oil: Keeps the chapati soft and pliable. Ghee can be used for a richer flavor.
• 1/4 cup warm water: Adjust as needed to form a smooth dough.

How to Make Keto Almond Chapati

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
2. Add olive oil and warm water gradually while mixing until the dough comes together. Knead lightly to form a soft, pliable dough.
3. Divide the dough into small balls (about 4-5 depending on the size).
4. Roll each ball between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8-inch thickness.
5. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook each chapati for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through.
6. Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite keto dish!

Tips for This Recipe

• Rest the Dough: Let the dough rest for 5 minutes after kneading to allow the psyllium husk to absorb moisture fully.
• Use Parchment Paper: Rolling the dough between parchment prevents sticking and tearing.
• Cook on Medium Heat: Too high, and the chapati may burn; too low, and it won’t cook evenly.

Optional Additions

• Add herbs like dried oregano or garlic powder to the dough for extra flavor.
• Brush cooked chapati with melted ghee or butter for a golden finish.

Serving Ideas

• Pair with keto curries or stews.
• Use as a wrap for keto-friendly fillings like grilled chicken, avocado, and spinach.
• Serve alongside a fresh salad for a light, satisfying meal.

Storage Recommendation

• Store leftover chapati in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, warm on a dry pan for 1-2 minutes or microwave for 10-15 seconds.
