Keto Lauki Kofta Curry
Keto Bottle Gourd Fritters in Curry
Yes, with a tweak: for the kofta, ensure only keto-friendly binders (e.g., almond flour, psyllium husk, or egg) are used instead of besan (chickpea flour) or flour. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Bengali food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Soft bottle gourd (lauki) fritters in a rich, mildly spiced gravy. The fritters are modified to be keto-friendly using low-carb binders, and the gravy is prepared without high-carb thickeners or sugar.
Key ingredients
Bottle gourd (lauki), ginger, green chilies, turmeric, cumin, coriander powder, salt, ghee/oil, onions, tomatoes (moderate), almond flour/psyllium husk/egg for kofta binding. Garam masala.
How to make it keto

Say this to the waiter (Bengali)
কেটো লাউকি কোফতা কারিতে, কোফতার জন্য বেসন বা ময়দার বদলে শুধু কেটো-উপযোগী বাইন্ডার ব্যবহার করবেন। গ্রেভিতে চিনি ও শ্বেতসার জাতীয় কিছু থাকবে না।
For the Keto Lauki Kofta Curry, use only keto binders like almond flour or egg for kofta. Gravy must be free of sugar and high-carb thickeners.
Watch out for
Traditional kofta are made with besan/flour as binders. Gravy can contain hidden sugars and high-carb thickeners. Bottle gourd itself has some carbs, so portion control for kofta is advised.
