I understand the love for curd and its versatile use in Indian cuisine. Curd rice is a popular dish that many of us can’t do without. We Indians just can’t do without our portion of curd in our meals. We make curd rice, and raita out of it, serve it with Biryani, marinate our meat in it, and whatnot.
If you’re following a Keto lifestyle and missing curd rice, I have a perfect substitute for you that fits into the Keto diet.
Instead of regular rice, you can use cauliflower rice as a low-carb alternative. And to replace regular curd, you can use Greek yogurt or hung curd, which is thicker and creamier. With these substitutions, you can enjoy a guilt-free version of curd rice that satisfies your taste buds while aligning with your Keto goals.
It will give a sense of satisfaction to your taste buds. It simply adds brilliant south Indian flavors to any dish, and even to a bland dal. Let’s jump straight to this quick recipe.
