Top 6 Options for Healthy Low Carb Indian Food List
Eating healthy food is a need of the hour, but who follows it properly? No one! But what is too difficult about following a low-carb diet? People don’t have enough knowledge about dieting, which stops them from taking that step towards health.
Consuming a low-carb diet can help you reduce that extra weight. The best part is, you won’t have to do excessive workouts for it.
What is a low-carb keto diet?
In our regular diets, we consume a lot of carbohydrates. Some of the high in carbs Indian foods are Potato, Roti, Maida breads, grains etc. In keto, our goal is to replace high-carb food with high-fat and high-protein foods. But why? Because we have to make our body burn fat and use it as a source of energy instead of relying on glucose.

When it comes to dieting, people often get stuck with limited options of food they can eat. This makes them crave more. We have some interesting low-carb food options that will help you keep your diet interesting.

Keto Idli with Paneer
Who doesn’t love an idli? It’s that perfect, cute little breakfast we all love eating once in a while. Make your idli low in carbs by adding a lot of paneer and hung curd to the mixture. Don’t forget your favourite cooking oil to increase fat count. This version of keto idli will be a great food option for you.
Keto Kadhi
The good old kadhi is a comfort food for all Indians. There is no doubt about it. But pairing it with rice and adding those nuggets make it a bit unhealthy. However, you can eat kadhi in your keto diet by making some simple changes. Exchange your rice with cauliflower rice (grated cauliflower) and add broccoli and paneer to your kadhi to make it healthier.
Sambar with Cauliflower
The famous south Indian dish, sambar, is already a healthy food. To make it keto-friendly you just have to remove ingredients that are high in carbs. For example, lentils and tamarind. Moreover, you will have to add some protein to your mix to increase protein levels. Paner will solve this problem.
All these dishes will make your keto routine a fun and flavourful adventure. Throw some paneer here and there in your meals and cancel out your rotis and rice. You’ll be good to go. But make sure you enjoy the whole process and don’t stress about your belly. Physical health is important but mental health is the core of health. Cheers to wholesome health!
