Keto Anglo-Indian foods
Keto Anglo-Indian foods are dishes that have evolved from the fusion of British and Indian culinary traditions. These dishes have been adapted to align with the principles of the ketogenic diet, emphasizing low carbohydrate intake, moderate protein consumption, and high healthy fat intake.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Anglo-Indian cuisine has a rich history dating back to the colonial period when British settlers and Indian locals blended their cooking styles. While many traditional Anglo-Indian dishes are carb-heavy, there are keto-friendly adaptations that allow you to enjoy the unique flavors of this cuisine while maintaining a low-carb lifestyle.
Common Ingredients[edit | edit source]
Keto Anglo-Indian foods often incorporate the following ingredients:
- Spices: A wide array of spices, such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric, are used to season dishes without adding carbohydrates.
- Meats: Beef, chicken, lamb, and fish are common keto-friendly protein sources.
- Coconut Oil: Used in place of ghee or vegetable oils for its high healthy fat content.
- Cream: Full-fat cream is often used in keto Anglo-Indian curries to create a rich and creamy texture.
Keto Anglo-Indian Dishes[edit | edit source]
Some examples of keto-friendly Anglo-Indian dishes include:
- Keto Chicken Tikka Masala: A flavorful chicken curry made with a creamy tomato-based sauce and keto-friendly spices.
- Keto Beef Korma: A rich and aromatic beef curry featuring coconut milk and low-carb seasonings.

Keto-Friendly Adaptations[edit | edit source]
