Indian food is among the most popular types of cuisine (outside of India, that is). Centuries of culinary knowledge has gone into creating countless rich and flavorful dishes of all kinds: Meaty and vegetarian, spicy and mild, hot and cold. And, butter chicken is up there among our favorite Indian dishes. Unfortunately, most traditional recipes call for plenty of added sugar, and for the dish to be served with rice. If you’re on the keto die, this simply doesn’t work. <\/p>\n
Thankfully, this keto butter chicken<\/strong> recipe comes in at around 5g of net carbs, meaning it won’t blow you past your carb target and knock you out of ketosis. Yay! The recipe also has plenty of fat and protein, however we’re not concerned about that. That’s why we call this our lazy<\/em> keto butter chicken – you only have to keep the carbs low, and can do what you like with the fat and protein.<\/p>\n For example, you can use other fat sources in place of butter if you like. And yes, it’s still a keto butter chicken, even if you take the butter out! <\/p>\n Yep! The best substitute is ghee.<\/p>\n Ghee is a type of clarified butter that’s made by heating cow’s milk at relatively low temperature until the water evaporates and the milk solids can be removed. It’s commonly used in Indian cooking anyway, so the butter chicken will still be nice and authentic. Plus, ghee being made at low temperatures<\/a> means that plenty of the vitamins and minerals (e.g., vitamins E & A, and various antioxidants) are retained.<\/p>\n Being that ghee is made from cow’s milk, it still has a buttery taste, and won’t compromise the deliciousness of this dish.<\/p>\n Stir to combine everything and then place in the fridge, covered, for at least 30 mins. Overnight works really well.<\/li>\n Spoon this lazy keto butter chicken over cauliflower rice for a delicious meal that is pretty darn close to authentic taste and texture!<\/p>\n Make the cauliflower rice by first grating (yes, with a cheese grater) your desired amount of cauliflower florets. We’ve found a whole head of cauliflower is need for this dish. Then simply sauté the grated cauliflower in a frying pan over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil for no more than 3 – 4 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste and you’re done!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This lazy keto butter chicken also works well when garnished with sliced fresh jalapeños and freshly chopped cilantro (coriander).<\/p>\n It’s pretty mild. If you don’t like spice, leave the chilli powder and fresh jalapeños out, and cut back a bit on the garam masala. <\/p>\n Store the leftover curry and the cauliflower rice separately to prevent the ‘rice’ from going too soggy.<\/p>\n They’ll keep in an airtight container in the fridge for about 5 days, making them a perfect option to include in your keto meal prepping<\/a>. <\/p>\n \n<\/div>\nCan you take the butter out of this lazy keto butter chicken?<\/h2>\n
