Keto Coconut Flatbread Made 3 Ways
Do you like Indian dishes? It is fairly easy to adapt Indian recipes to the keto diet except for on big void – low carb roti, naan or paratha, that normally accompanies a curry. Indian flatbreads are much like tortillas, but made out of whole wheat flour. These are great for mopping up curries and gravies and, to be honest, most of us Indians would be lost without it. Eating just curry is pretty much unheard of in India! So this flatbread recipe has come to the rescue.
There are some tricks of the trade so to speak involved with this recipe.
Don't try to sub almond flour for the coconut flour; it won't work.
Psyllium husk is essential to the recipe. Ground flax seed won't work the same way, so it's not a good substitute.
The water has to be warm when added to the flour. Cold water will make for a crumbly dough.
If you find the naan breaking when you try to flip it, let it cook for some more time before you attempt again.
OK let's get started.
