Low Carb Indian Dinner Recipes

Dinner is the last meal of the day. Though it’s one of the main meals of the day, it should definitely comprise of less calories and carbs than lunch. This is because when you have lunch, through the day there is enough time for digestion process to get accomplished completely. For the same reason, it is advised to have dinner at least 2 hours before going to bed. This gives your body to digest the food.

Veggies are the true friend of weight watchers. Steam, bake, grill or sauté, they are a bowl of health.

High Protein Low Carb Indian Meals for Dinner

A high protein diet boosts metabolism and aids in weight loss. On the other hand, low carb diet helps to utilize the fat stores of the body. Thus this combo works perfect for weight watchers. Two interesting options that we have included in this category are Almond Bhakri and Dry Egg Masala. 

Almond Bhakri is a wholesome substitute to Indian breads which are usually filled with carbs. Try making it and the aroma of this bhakri being cooked is good enough to tempt you. All you have to do is soak, peel and blend almonds and knead into a dough with little ghee and salt. Finally pat it with fingers on a rolling board and cook it on a tava. 3.2 g of carbs is what 1 bhakri offers. In reality, 1 to 2 Almond Bhakri are more than enough to satiate you at dinner time.

Eggs are a very good source of protein, that’s known to all. What you need to remember while being on a low carb diet is avoid fried egg and at the same time not use oodles of oil to cook it. Try this recipe of Dry Egg Masala. Also do not get tempted to enjoy it with bread. Remember bread is made from maida – a refined ingredient which raises your blood sugar levels quickly and it has not many nutrients to offer. 

Low Carb Drinks for Dinner

Drinks for a dinner can be the simple Chaas or a cup of herbal tea without sugar. Avoid the usage of sugar as that is high in carbs and has no calorie value. What sugar does it actually cause an inflammation to your body and that is really not good for you.

Try Tulsi Tea which is made from Tulsi or Basil and just has lemon juice added to it and is soothing at night. At all costs skip any aerated dink like Coke, Pepsi, Diet Coke as they are laden with sugar or artificial sweeteners which will push your insulin up and shut down your fat burning. So be sensible.
