Keto Diet For Weight Loss: These Protein-Rich, Low-Carb Rotis Are Perfect To Satisfy Your Carb Cravings!

The craving for rice or roti/ chapati or parantha is quite possible for people following the keto diet. Ketogenic diet is one which involves eating carbs in low quantities, fats in high quantities and protein in moderate quantities. Eggs, avocadoes, low-carb non-starchy vegetables, leafy greens, chicken, etc are some of the ideal keto foods. However, chapatis or rotis (flatbread) form an essential part of Indian diet. People eat rotis for breakfast, lunch and even dinner. All in all, it is justified to claim that an Indian meal is incomplete without flatbread.
