Step-by-Step Recipe for the Softest Almond Flour Roti
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, and salt.
Gradually add hot water, stirring continuously.
Knead until it forms a soft, pliable dough.
Cover and let it rest for 5 minutes to enhance flexibility.
Step 2: Rolling the Rotis
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
Place a dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper.
Roll gently into a thin, round shape.
Carefully peel off the top parchment sheet.
Step 3: Cooking the Rotis
Heat a tava (griddle) or non-stick pan on medium flame.
Gently transfer the rolled roti onto the hot pan.
Cook for 30-40 seconds until bubbles form.
Flip and cook the other side for another 30-40 seconds.
Brush with ghee or olive oil for a rich, authentic taste.
Serve hot with sabzi, dal, or chutney!
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I store almond flour rotis?

2. My roti is breaking. What should I do?
Add a little more psyllium husk for better binding and flexibility.
