My husband tried the Keto diet for a considerable amount of time & his weight loss was very, very evident. Many of my friends asked what Indian food is, keto, So I wanted to document the recipes and share them. The collection below is the Keto diet for Indian vegetarians without eggs recipes. There are many types of Keto diet, namely Strict (clean) keto, Dirty keto, and Lazy keto. So my husband followed the Lazy keto diet, which is a less restrictive option than a standard keto diet for tracking macronutrients. This could help someone lower their carbohydrate intake and potentially lose weight. I have taken the liberty to share certain keto alternatives for some recipes shared below, which may not be completely keto-compliant.

This is left to the individual’s preferred keto diet choice, as we know there are multiple types of ketogenic diets available. So stick to what suits your diet plan.
What is a Ketogenic Diet?

How does the Keto Diet work?
The key to any keto diet is to trigger the process called ketosis. It’s actually a process to force your body to utilize the excess fat as energy instead of carbohydrates. On the contrary, the logic should be that anything high in fat or protein but low in carbs can be considered a keto food since that will trigger the ketosis process.
