Keto Roti is a soft and pliable low-carb version of the popular Indian flatbread. It's a healthy, light and super fast recipe with tips on how to roll and shape into perfect rounds.
Add almond flour, psyllium husks, and salt to a mixing bowl. Mix to combine all ingredients.
Add olive oil and warm water and mix until all the liquid is absorbed and a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 1-2 minutes, and rest it for 5 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and gently roll each one into a round ball. Grab one dough ball and place it in the center of a parchment sheet or silicone mat.
Cover the dough ball with another parchment sheet. Start rolling it outwards in a back and forth motion. Rotate the parchment slightly and roll again. Repeat this process until you flatten it to an even thickness, about 6-inches in diameter. (Note: Don't worry if they're not perfectly round)
If you want to fix the shape, grab any 6-inch lid and place it on the rolled-out dough. Press to cut the dough in a circular shape. Scrape away any excess and add to the next dough ball.
Heat a non-stick pan on medium-high heat. Brush it lightly with oil and invert the parchment paper and lower the roti into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until light brown spots form. Repeat to make the remaining rotis.
Notes
Almond Flour: For soft rotis, use blanched, super-fine almond flour. My preferred brand is Bob's Red Mill.
Psyllium husk: Use whole husks, not powder. Using the powder will make the dough too dry and rotis won't be soft.
Oil: Use any clear oil like avocado or olive. Feel free to use ghee instead.
Optional seasoning: Add ¼ teaspoon ajwain or cumin seeds for a nutty flavor.
Shape: Cutting the shape with a lid is an optional step. Feel free to skip it if you don't care about the circular shape of the rotis.
Skillet: Make sure the pan or skillet is preheated before cooking to prevent sticking.
Keep warm: To keep the rotis warm while you continue with the rest of the dough, wrap in a clean kitchen towel.
