Indian Naan is famous all across the globe being the quintessential part of Indian cuisine. Your food seems desolate if there is no naan but know for sure, Naan has many empty calories because these are made of flour. So we recommend you to choose rotis over naan, if you crave for bread.
Choose lentils and chickpeas:
There are many legume-based dishes in Indian cuisine that are low in oil and butter such as daal or chole that are made from chickpeas. These food options have fibre aplenty and packed with protein too. It helps you keep fuller for a longer period of time.
Ditch the high-fat dishes:
If a dish promises you ghee, paneer or malai in abundance, know for sure that you need to stay away from all these. Paneer is cottage cheese which is obviously high in fat and malai is a dairy product too, hence these are not healthy options for your meal.
Try the yogurt:
Yogurt, as you know is low in calorie and has a soothing effect on the taste-buds. If a dish is way too spicy for you, take a side of raita which will neutralize the spice. If not raita, ask for simple yogurt.
