Undhiyu (Keto Modified, without root vegetables)
Gujarati Mixed Vegetable Stir-fry (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no potatoes, sweet potatoes, plantains, or jaggery are used. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Indian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A traditional Gujarati mixed vegetable dish, slow-cooked to perfection. This keto-modified version omits starchy root vegetables and jaggery, focusing on green beans, small eggplants, cluster beans, and fenugreek dumplings made with keto-friendly binders.
Key ingredients
Green beans, small brinjals (eggplant), cluster beans, capsicum, methi muthias (made with almond flour/psyllium husk, fenugreek leaves, spices), green garlic, ginger, green chili paste, sesame oil, coconut, various spices (cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala), salt.
How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Ensure no potatoes, sweet potatoes, plantains, or jaggery are used. Confirm muthias are made with almond flour or similar keto binder, not besan (chickpea flour). Request minimal use of high-carb beans like surti papdi.
Say this to the waiter (Hindi)
बहुत ज़रूरी: उंधियु में आलू, शकरकंद, केला या गुड़ न हों। मुठिया बेसन के बजाय बादाम के आटे से बनी हो। हाई-कार्ब फलियाँ कम डालें।
CRITICAL: For Undhiyu, no potatoes, sweet potatoes, plantains, or jaggery. Muthias with almond flour, not besan. Minimal high-carb beans.
