Keto Stir Fry - Mushrooms, Yellow Peppers and Spinach

Being on a Keto diet is very tough if you are a vegetarian. Some days I felt that it was tough for me to fix a meal for myself. I wasn't going to give up so easily and I started playing around with some veggies that were keto recommended and added seasoning to my liking and taste. That's how my keto stir fry came into existence!

Ingredients:

1 tsp butter
1 cup mushrooms
2 cups spinach
1 yellow bell pepper
3-4 garlic cloves
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Method:

In a pan add butter followed by mushrooms, peppers and garlic.
Saute them well until the mushrooms begin to brown. (I like to stir fry until the water from the mushroom is gone)
Add balsamic vinegar and cook till it is well coated.
Add in the spinach and cook until it is wilted.
Remove and serve topped with some grated parmesan cheese.

Steamed Broccoli with Cheddar Cheese Sauce

Broccoli might get stuck in your teeth, but French fries will get stuck in your ass!!! 🤣🤣 I have always loved eating broccoli but have seen many people running away from it. Ever since I have been on my Keto diet, broccoli has become my new BFF! It is one vegetable that is rich in fiber, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin K and Iron. It also has a good amount of protein compared to other vegetables. I have liked making broccoli using my air fryer but I realized that it was not keeping me full for long. While searching the web I stumbled upon the cheddar cheese sauce and decided to try it myself. One serving of broccoli with cheese sauce is a good snack that keeps you going for a long time. Ingredients: (Serves 3) 3 cups broccoli Florets steamed 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup heavy cream 4-5 garlic cloves finely chopped salt and pepper to taste Method: In a pan add heavy cream and cook over low heat.

Mung Bean Sprouts Idli

Idli is nothing but the batter post steam bath! Idli is one such South Indian breakfast that is prepared by fermenting ground rice and urad dal batter. This batter is steamed and served with an assortment of chutneys and sambhar. While on a keto diet, I realized that I was craving for Idlies and searched the internet to find no such recipe that was keto friendly. I did stumble upon few recipes which had either paneer or used baking soda to make the idlies. My friend Geetha made Idlies using Mung bean sprouts and that made me try making them out myself.
