The weekend is here, and just because you are on Keto, doesn’t mean that you can’t party and have a good time. Adding to my list of famous dishes from India, I am today sharing my recipe for Keto Tandoori Chicken or barbecued chicken.
We start with breakfast, which I think should be the most exciting meal of the day. If you have a positive start to the day, you won’t care if the person in the cubicle next to you is eating muffins.
Breakfast
Scrambled Eggs with Bulletproof Coffee
Beat three eggs to a fluffy stage with salt and pepper. I prefer them with crispy fried bacon, but the choice is yours. Bacon bits are even better if you can get them. Add some ghee to a pan and pour in the egg mixture. Sprinkle in some oregano and chili flakes. My twist in these eggs is to add a dash of Sriracha and make them really hot and mouth-watering.
I like to wash down my spicy eggs with my absolute favorite mug of Bullet proof coffee with butter and coconut oil.
Lunch
Capsicum/Peppers stuffed with Cottage Cheese (Paneer)
Capsicum and Broccoli in moderation have become my favorite veggies on the Keto diet. For this recipe, you will need medium-sized capsicums that have space for filling. You can go for any color of capsicum.
Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 Capsicums/ Peppers
- ½ to 1 cup Cottage Cheese grated
- ½ cup of onions Chopped (optional )
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 2 tsp Lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp Red Chilly powder, optional
- ¼ tsp Chili powder
- 2 tsp Olive Oil
- White and Pink Salt to taste
Procedure:
- Completely remove seeds from the capsicums and cut out their tops.
- In a bowl add the cottage cheese, onions, lemon juice, cumin powder, turmeric salt and red chili powder.
- Mix well and add ½ tsp of olive oil and mix more.
- Stuff the capsicums with this cheese stuffing.
- Cover the capsicums with foil or use a toothpick to connect the tops. Preheat the oven and set the mode to oven and grill.
- Grill until the capsicum looks all shriveled up. I also like to rub some olive oil on the outside of the capsicums to help with the cooking. Cauliflower fried rice
I have seen innumerable recipes for cauliflower fried rice on the Internet. This is my version of it.
- Cut the florets of a cauliflower and put them in a food processor. You can use a hand garter.
- Make a fine, fluffy mixture that resembles rice.
- In ghee, add a few garlic cloves and fry till golden.
- Now add the cauliflower, salt, pepper, and a pinch of chilly flakes.
- Cook some more like a mash. Add some freshly chopped cilantro or coriander. Your keto-friendly fried rice is ready.

Dinner
Keto Tandoori Chicken
Tandoori chicken is essentially chicken that has been marinated with spices and yogurt for some time. It is always cooked over an open fire, grill, or tandoor. I bet by the time you get your second batch out of the fire, the first will have vanished.
- Prep time: 15 mins
- Cook time: 20 to 25 mins
- Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken cut into 12 or 8 pieces, or just chicken legs
- 2 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup Greek full-fat yogurt
- 2 tsp Ginger paste
- 2 tsp garlic paste
- ½ tsp Garam masala powder
- ½ tsp Chaat masala
- Salt to taste
- Red Food colour, optional
Process
- Start by making incisions all over the chicken with a fork or a knife.
- Make a paste of half of the red chili powder, lemon juice, and salt.
- Apply it thoroughly over the chicken and let it rest for half an hour.
- In the Greek yogurt, add the rest of the Kashmiri red chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, garam masala powder, two tablespoons of olive oil, and salt.
- Rub and marinate this on the chicken and set it in the fridge for three to four hours.
- Grill the Keto Tandoori Chicken on sticks over a medium flame or in a preheated oven. In ten to twelve minutes, they will be fully done. Marinate in ghee and cook for three to four minutes. Remove from the fire and let it rest.
Don’t forget to sprinkle chaat masala on it.
