How to make it keto
Crucially, request no rice, naan bread, poppadoms, or other carb-heavy sides. Ensure no added sugar in the curry sauce, a common risk in restaurant curries. Confirm unsweetened coconut milk or heavy cream is used for the sauce.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in restaurant curry sauces, high-carb vegetables (e.g., potatoes, peas, chickpeas), thickeners (flour, cornstarch), carby sides (rice, naan).
