Keto Flaxseed Tortilla

Everybody loves something, even if it's only tortillas.
While on a keto diet, we often come across a stage where we start missing the rotis/tortillas. I came across this stage too and saw many posts with recipes using coconut or almond flour, which I tried and was good. This below recipe used flaxseed powder which is full of nutrients and is very low in carbs. It is a must try!

Ingredients
  • 1 cup flaxseed powder
  • 2/3 cup hot water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Add water into a medium-size saucepan and bring it to a boil. 
  2. Add the salt and flaxseed powder. Turn the heat off and stir immediately with a wooden spoon, until the flaxseed powder absorbs all the water, As you stir, the flaxseed powder will form a dough and gradually not stick from the saucepan. It takes about 1-2 minutes max. 
  3. Remove the dough from the saucepan and place it on a non-stick surface (I used parchment paper), When cool to touch, break the flaxseed dough into 4 equal pieces.
  4. Roll out each dough ball between two pieces of parchment paper (one on the bottom to keep the flaxseed dough from sticking to the surface and one on top to keep the flaxseed dough from sticking to the rolling pin). 
  5. Take a round bowl and place on top of rolled out dough, cut around the edges to make them round. Place extra dough in a pile to make one more tortilla.
  6. Preheat a well-seasoned cast iron pan (or any other non-stick pan) over medium heat. Transfer one tortilla at a time to the pan and cook it for 60-90 seconds, depending on your pan and heat. Flip and cook for extra 30-60 seconds. Don't over cook the tortillas or they will become crispy. The tortillas have to be dry, but stay soft to roll.
  7. Place the cooked tortillas on cooling rack or plate. Serve warm or cold, they keep their flexibility which makes them versatile.
  8. Store leftover (cooled) flaxseed tortillas in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days (possibly longer). For longer term storage, freeze in an airtight container with a piece of parchment paper in between each tortilla (so they don't stick together as they freeze) for up to 1 month.

Steamed Broccoli with Cheddar Cheese Sauce

Broccoli might get stuck in your teeth, but French fries will get stuck in your ass!!! 🤣🤣 I have always loved eating broccoli but have seen many people running away from it. Ever since I have been on my Keto diet, broccoli has become my new BFF! It is one vegetable that is rich in fiber, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin K and Iron. It also has a good amount of protein compared to other vegetables.  I have liked making broccoli using my air fryer but I realized that it was not keeping me full for long. While searching the web I stumbled upon the cheddar cheese sauce and decided to try it myself. One serving of broccoli with cheese sauce is a good snack that keeps you going for a long time. Ingredients: (Serves 3) 3 cups broccoli Florets steamed 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup heavy cream 4-5 garlic cloves finely chopped salt and pepper to taste Method: In a pan add heavy cream and cook over low heat. Once it begins to boil, add gar...

Mung Bean Sprouts Idli

   Idli is nothing but the batter post steam bath! Idli is one such South Indian breakfast that is prepared by fermenting ground rice and urad dal batter. This batter is steamed and served with an assortment of chutneys and sambhar. While on a keto diet, I realized that I was craving for Idlies and searched the internet to find no such recipe that was keto friendly. I did stumble upon few recipes which had either paneer or used baking soda to make the idlies. My friend Geetha made Idlies using Mung bean sprouts and that made me try making them out myself. This is a wonderful Keto Idli recipe as each Idli is only 1.8g net carbs. The recipe below yields 10 Idlies. Ingredients: 3 cups sprouted mung beans 1/4 inch ginger 1 small green chilly salt to taste water enough to grind Method: 30 mins before preparing the batter soak the mung bean sprouts in water. This will make sure the mung bean is clean. In a mixer jar add - drained mung bean sprouts, ginger, gr...
