Today I have got an incredibly delicious, aromatic Ketogenic recipe that can be a great option for vegetarians to fill them up till the next meal. Try my Keto Cauliflower Tikka masala, I bet it will be loved by all your vegetarian family members and friends. I recently cooked this last weekend for my family, and they literally finished it off in no time.
The Keto Cauliflower Tikka masala is so easy to prepare right at home in one pan with simple ingredients that can be easily found in any Indian kitchen and nearby grocery store. It is packed full of aromatic Indian condiments and spices that lend a wonderful texture and flavor to the gravy.
