Keto Pav Bhaji

"It's not cheating on Keto......when the bread doesn't know it's you!"

Bread is something I guess most people on Keto begin to miss eventually. I did too and tried some variations of keto bread recipes available online. Most of the bread recipes had cheese and egg which I was not liking at all. On keto, we anyways eat a lot of egg and cheese and I wanted to avoid it.

 Yesterday, I made Pav bhaji for my family as they are all home due to the COVID 19 outburst. While I made the bhaji the authentic way for my family, I did not want to make a whole new meal for myself. I ended up following Headbanger's Kitchen's recipe 👇and made some bhaji for myself.

 Pav Bhaji is incomplete without the Pav.....and why should we Keto dieters suffer 😊
I prepared an eggless and vegan version of a Pav in the microwave. Hope you like the recipe:
Ingredients:

1 tbsp unsalted melted butter or ghee
1 tbsp flax seed powder
3 tbsp water
3 tbsp blanched almond flour
1/2 tbsp coconut flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt

Method:
  • Melt the butter in a ramekin in the microwave. I used a small Pyrex container.   
  • To prepare the "flax egg", mix the flax seed powder and water. 
  • Place the almond flour, coconut flour, salt, baking powder and melted butter in a ramekin. I used a small Pyrex container. 
  • Stir in the flax egg mixture along with the dry ingredients. Knead it properly and place it in the pyrex container/ramekin and microwave for 1 minute, repeat in 30 second increments until firm (2-3 minutes).
  • Use a spatula to loosen the edges and invert. Slice in half and toast if desired. Serve immediately.

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. Once it begins to boil, add gar...

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. This is a wonderful Keto Idli recipe as each Idli is only 1.8g net carbs. The recipe below yields 10 Idlies. Ingredients: 3 cups sprouted mung beans 1/4 inch ginger 1 small green chilly salt to taste water enough to grind Method: 30 mins before preparing the batter soak the mung bean sprouts in water. This will make sure the mung bean is clean. In a mixer jar add - drained mung bean sprouts, ginger, gr...

When you begin craving for sugar while on keto, try increasing your protein intake. Using the low carb sugar options also works good on smoothies or baked keto goodies. One such day while I was craving for dessert, I made the keto cheesecake. It was spoonful of heaven! Bliss! Hope you like the recipe and would love to hear back your comments. KETO CHEESECAKE Ingredients: 1 tsp Unsalted butter 4 oz Cream cheese 2 tbsp Lakanto Monk fruit sugar 5 Raspberries Method: Melt the butter in a small microwaveable ramekin.
