Method:

- Rest the dough – Resting the dough for 5-10 minutes after kneading allows the psyllium husk to
absorb moisture evenly making it softer to roll. - Use butter paper for rolling – Roll the dough between butter paper sheets to prevent the dough from
sticking. - Use non-stick pan – Cook the almond flour roti on non-stick pan to avoid tearing and minimise oil use.
- Add variation – Add herbs, spices with vegetables like spinach, carrot or grated paneer to add extra
