Keto friendliness
Adapts poorly due to the pervasive use of rice and rice-flour staples, requiring significant modification to find suitable options.
Top ingredients
Coconut milk, fish, seafood, chicken, beef, eggs, and a rich array of spices are naturally keto-compatible ingredients.
Danger zones
The primary danger zones are the ubiquitous rice, hoppers, string hoppers, roti, dhal curries, and often potatoes or hidden sugars in vegetable preparations.
Best for
This cuisine is best for very disciplined keto dieters who are willing to completely forego traditional carb bases and meticulously select protein-rich curries, or those cooking at home.
