Keto friendliness
Pakistani cuisine can be adapted to keto, but requires strict avoidance of traditional staples and careful menu navigation.
Top ingredients
Excellent traditional keto ingredients include various meats (chicken, lamb, beef, goat), ghee, full-fat dairy, and non-starchy vegetables often found in curries.
Danger zones
The biggest carb traps are ubiquitous naan, roti, paratha, rice dishes (biryani, pulao), lentils (daal), chickpeas, potatoes, and often sugar-laden marinades or gravies.
Best for
This cuisine works best for experienced keto dieters who are confident in requesting modifications, are comfortable focusing solely on protein and fat, and vigilant about hidden carbohydrates.
