Of all the keto flatbreads, the psyllium husk chapati comes closest to the real thing in texture — it has genuine pliability and a slight earthiness from the psyllium that resembles whole wheat chapati more than almond flour versions do. Remarkably, astonishingly thin, these chapatis roll out paper-fine and cook in seconds on a blazing tawa, puffing slightly and taking on a gorgeous spotted char that reminds you, with every yielding, flexible bite, that great Indian bread truly does not need a single grain of wheat.
