Keto Dosa recipe is an Indian Style Crepe made with almond flour, coconut milk, and cheese. Best served as a breakfast recipe with keto coconut chutney as a side dish.
Dosa is a South Indian, fermented crepe made from rice and black lentils. Since the regular version of Dosa is prepared using rice lentil batter high in carbohydrates, regular dosa cannot be a part of the keto diet.
This Indian Style Keto Dosa recipe was inspired by headbangers kitchen (i just modified the measurements). After many tries, I was finally able to nail to make the perfect crispy almond flour dosa recipe. When you dip it with tempered coconut chutney and take a bite, you will not think it is your regular dosa.
Follow the same measurements and steps, try it out, and don't forget to use a good nonstick pan to make these dosas. Also, check 70+ Keto Indian Food Recipes from my blog.

Almond Flour Keto Dosa Ingredients
Firstly gather all the ingredients to make keto dosa with almond flour.
- Almond flour: This is the main ingredient. I have used blanched almond flour that is easily available in Costco and any Indian grocery store.
- Cheese: You can use mozzarella, cheddar, or any cheese of your choice. cheese helps to bind the almond flour together.
- Coconut Milk: Adds rich flavor to the dosa. I used full-fat coconut milk in this recipe. You may also use heavy whipping cream, unsweetened almond milk, or sour cream.
- Spices: I used cumin (jeera) powder, and hing (asafoetida) (optional) for flavoring.
- Oil: use olive oil or coconut oil for cooking the dosa.
- Salt: to taste
How to Make Keto Dosa Recipe
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, mozzarella cheese, coconut milk, cumin powder, asafoetida (optional), and salt, until you get a smooth and pouring consistency batter.
Let the batter rest for at least 10-15 minutes. Adjust with warm water if the batter is too thick.
Then grease a nonstick dosa pan with coconut oil. Pour the batter and spread it evenly in a circular shape.
Drizzle some oil and cook on medium-low heat until red or golden and the sides begin to lift a bit from the pan.
Lastly, fold over and serve with the keto dipping sauce or coconut chutney.
What to serve with Keto Dosa?

Frequently Asked Questions
You can make almond flour dosa without coconut milk by replacing coconut milk with dairy cream, heavy whipping cream, sour cream, or greek yogurt instead.
Yes.
Cheese is what binds almond flour together. If you want to skip the cheese, then you can replace cheese with egg.
Blend ¼ cup of shredded coconut (fresh or frozen) with ½ cup of warm water. Strain the coconut milk in a strainer or nut milk bag. Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate. You can save pulp for baked goods or add it to poriyal, smoothies, or coconut curries.
Almond flour is not the same as an almond meal. Almond flour is made from blanched almonds and finely ground, while the almond meal is not so finely milled and may contain almond skin.
Since almond flour can become rancid fast, it is best to store it in the fridge or freezer after opening the packet. It’s best stored in a cool, dark place in a well-sealed container. If frozen, measure how much you need and let it come to room temperature before using.

Monika Tyagi says
I loved the recipe. My only concern is the calories... one dosa cannot be 175 calories as almond flour itself has 175 calories per 1/4 cup. Then mozzarella and coconut milk too added.
bhavana says
Hi Monika, Glad you liked the recipe...I will check about the calories and get back.

Thank you for posting. Indirectly its a big help.
Bhavana Patil says
Hi Hemakshi, Thank you so much for your feedback. Glad your liked it. I personally dint try storing the batter for the next day. But you can definitely store it and use it the next day. I do not recommend storing the cooked dosa. Yeah, this almond flour dosa is a bit on the crispier side. I would try adding more almond flour and see if it turns soft. Let me know if you give a try. I have more low carb recipes on my blog, do check it for more ideas for your daugter.
