At Cast Iron Keto we focus on what really matters for keto: high fat, moderate protein, very low carbs. We skip the sugar, ditch the flour, and replace the high-carb sides with keto swaps that still taste good. The result is a range of dishes that feel comforting and rich without kicking you out of ketosis.
This list contains 15 Indian-inspired keto recipes that are suitable for weeknights, meal prep, and even entertaining. You’ll see creamy butter chicken, bold vindaloo, quick skillet curries, and even keto naan. Most of these use stock seasonings and simple cooking methods, such as simmering on the stovetop or roasting in the oven.
If you like strong flavors and thick sauces coating every bite, you’ve come to the right place.
Let’s get into the recipes.
