This Holi, enjoy some indulgent recipes without sacrificing your diet and that’s why here is my Top Keto Indian recipes to try this Holi.
Top Keto Indian Recipes for Holi:
Holi is the most fun Indian festival when friends and families get together to celebrate the festival or colors. We Indians play with colors and enjoy our heart out on this special day.
Back in my childhood days, my sister and I chose the most attractive water guns to fill colors and play with them. Every Holi, we worshiped lord Krishna and enjoyed lots of good food and sweets. Holi is more about cultural significance than a traditional ritualistic festival.
On this day, we do more fun n devour some locally popular dishes. For an instance, Holi in northern India is more synonymous with Thandai, gujia and bhaang. A little down west, Holi feast is more about malpuas and laddoos, and even rich puran polis. Eastern India however has its own set of delicacies for this festive day with everything from delicious Chenna sweets to rich curries and even raw mangoes.
But being Keto or low-carb and vegan can’t be very easy especially when it’s Indian festival. Here is a compilation of top Holi Recipes made Keto. Ladies and gentleman, presenting my version of Top Indian Keto recipes for this Holi.
