Diwali is one of the biggest festivals in India. The festival of the lights is celebrated with strings of lights, earthen lamps, sparkling firecrackers, and lots and lots of sweets. This delicious tradition of sweets being distributed among family and friends is quite cool, but it becomes tricky to enjoy these slices of heaven when you are on a diet, especially Keto.
While Indian desserts are amazingly diverse in every corner with hundreds of years of history behind them, the traditional recipes are sweetened with non-Keto-friendly sugars and can mess up with your diet.
Well, not anymore. You can make some of these treats in low-calorie versions and compliant with your low-carb diet.
Keeping up with the season’s spirit, you can give in to your innate sweet tooth and enjoy the rich traditional sweet dishes. As the country is a land of diversity, be it dialects or tastes, you will find a variety of ingredients and flavors to prepare these dessert recipes for Diwali, with a Keto twist. You don’t have to miss out on your favorite sweets just because you are on diet.
