15.Keto Chicken Korma

This chicken korma stands out with a special ingredient: almond butter! It adds a subtle nutty flavor that even the kids will enjoy. But don’t worry if almond butter isn’t your thing–peanut butter or cashew butter would work just as well.

When it comes to yogurt, you’ve got options too. Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt are both great choices. I personally lean toward coconut yogurt for its milder taste, but whichever you pick, just make sure it’s plain.

18.Low-Carb Indian Samosas

I am a fool for samosas, which aren’t exactly known to be low-carb. However, these samosas are. They use almond flour for the dough and cauliflower for the filling.
