Keto & Low-Carb Indian Recipes 242 recipes

Indian food has a carb-heavy reputation — rice, roti, potato, sugar-laced sweets — but a huge slice of the repertoire is naturally low in carbs: paneer, eggs, leafy saags, non-starchy vegetables, and the entire tikka and tandoori grill tradition. This collection gathers the dishes that fit a ketogenic or low-carb day without feeling like a compromise, and without pretending a plate of biryani belongs on the list.

We gate this collection on the macros, not just a label. Every recipe carries full per-serving numbers — calories, protein, carbs, fat, fibre — and a dish earns its place by actually being low in carbs per serving, so you can trust the list to keep you under your daily limit instead of guessing. Swap rice for cauliflower rice, lean on paneer, tofu and eggs for protein, and the meal stays as satisfying as anything off the regular menu.

You'll find paneer mains (bhurji, tikka, palak paneer), egg dishes, grilled and tandoori vegetables, saags and non-starchy sabzis, and cooling raitas — most vegetarian, many vegan-adaptable, and none deep-fried, because the whole library is no-deep-fry by default. Pair anything here with our macro tracker and meal planner and the carb bookkeeping does itself.
