I made this recipe last night:
https://sugarfreelondoner.com/keto-naan-low-carb-flatbread/#recipe
Dry Ingredients
▢ ⅔ cup coconut flour 75g
▢ 2 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
▢ 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
▢ 1 teaspoon baking powder
▢ GENEROUS pinch salt
▢ 1 tablespoon nigella and/or sesame seeds
Wet Ingredients
▢ 1 cup / 240ml hot water
▢ ¼ cup / 60g full fat natural yoghurt
▢ 2 tablespoon coconut oil / olive oil melted
Topping
▢ 2 tablespoon coconut oil / butter / olive oil melted
▢ handful chopped parsley or coriander / cilantro
▢ generous pinch salt
I used all the ingredients it called for, and the naan came out a pale purple when it baked!
It tasted fine, but I’m just curious if anyone else has made this, or has any clue why it was purple?!?

Could be the colour leaching from the nigella
Some psyllium husk powder will turn purple. I forget how to avoid that happening but its know for turning purple.
This is right off the page of that recipe:
“Some psyllium husk powder brands turn **purple** when baked. I have used the BonPom, Green Origins and the Just Natural Organics brand with good results. In the US, the NOW and Healthworks brands are popular. However, even if the naan changes color, this does not affect the taste.”
