Murgh Palak is my lunch idea for a vegetarian recipe today. It involves chicken wings and spinach. The purpose is to get a good dose of proteins, fiber, fats, and minimum carbs.
All you need to do is marinate the chicken for a night. In the morning let it cook on low heat for about ten minutes, pack it in a lunch box, and carry it to work. You can have it cold or hot. And as mentioned before, you can always adjust the quantity according to your macros.
My Ketogenic Murgh Palak is juicy and can be eaten as finger food. It gets a nice crust on the outside, and the sautéed spinach adds a nice crunch to the dish.

I make these from Mission Carb Balance flour tortilla shells. These have a net carb of 4g for the whole 10 inch shell. I cook the pizza on a griddle on my stove top burner. This is pepperoni, green olives, and Mozzarella with Oregano sprinkled on top. I cover it to steam the ingredients using a 10 inch skillet lid.
I added 505 Green Chili from a jar on top of the salad. Everything else underneath was made exactly how the recipe called for (except sesame seeds). It was so good, I made it two nights in a row.
Big Mac Salad Servings 4 salads
Ingredients Avocado Oil Mayo Heinz Ketchup, No Added Sugar 1 pound lean ground beef 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon cracked pepper ½ teaspoon onion powder ½ teaspoon garlic powder 6 cups chopped romaine or iceberg lettuce 1 cup shredded cheddar 1/2 cup sliced dill pickles ¼ cup diced yellow onions Sesame seeds for garnish
For the Big Mac sauce: 1/2 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons sugar free ketchup
2 tablespoons dill relish or diced pickles 2 teaspoons mustard 1 teaspoons distilled white vinegar ½ teaspoon onion powder (up to your preference) ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
beef has cooked through, drain the fat.
Season the beef with the salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Divide the lettuce evenly between 4 salad bowls, about 1 1/2 cups each.
Top the lettuce with the the cheddar, onions, pickles, and beef.
Drizzle about 3 tablespoons of the big mac sauce over each salad and toss well.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and additional pickles just before serving, if desired.
To make the big mac sauce, whisk together all of the ingredients until well combined.
Notes We like to make our salads in separate bowls so that people can choose how much pickle and onion they'd like to add (or leave it out completely!). If this isn't a concern in your house, you can toss the salad in a large bowl and divide out into individual bowls for serving.

I haven’t met a single person who doesn’t love Keto Chicken Biryani. However, following a keto diet means I can’t eat rice, and as a devoted Biryani lover, I miss my favorite dish.
Today, I feel like a genius for cooking a Keto Chicken Biryani that tastes just as good as the traditional version but without the rice. This Chicken Biryani will become a favorite among your family members and friends.
Biryani was my go-to meal, but now that I’m on Keto, I had to find a way to satisfy my cravings without breaking my diet.
Keto Chicken Biryani is a flavorful low-carb version of the classic dish. You can replace rice with grated cauliflower to keep carbs minimal.

Really need to get on the meal prep train. Two quasi-Chinese things I am currently hankering for that I'd love some keto recipes for:
Would love to mix some keto ingredients with EVOO in a daily smoothie that tastes reasonable. Something that masks the EVOO effectively. Perhaps a flavored protein scoop, or nut butter. Thoughts?

It was really easy to make, and absolutely delicious. According to my food tracking app, this comes out at around 4.5g net carbs & 280 kcal per slice (cake divided into 12 pieces).
I made the dairy version but used coconut oil for the crust.
MINCE
Ground beef Garlic Cumin seeds Fennel seeds Smoked paprika Fish sauce Red wine vinegar
I pan fry the beef with a little olive oil till it breaks up and becomes crispy. Toast the cumin and fennel seeds and grind. Add to the mince along with crushed garlic and smoked paprika. Fry for another minute. Add fish sauce and some red wine vinegar to taste.
CAULIFLOWER
One cauliflower head Onion Garlic Fresh herb mix (I had thyme, oregano and basil) Butter
I blitz up a cauliflower into rice-ish size bits. Fry chopped onions in butter. Add garlic and cauliflower rice. Stir fry till cauliflower gets brown bits. Add finely chopped herbs and season.
I had it with a big dollop of sour cream and mixed leaves with salt pepper and olive oil.
What would I change next time? Maybe serve in a bowl instead and add a little fresh salsa with tomato cucumber and chilli.
Sorry for no exact measurements but it's more about the vibes
Cheers.
I made Keto Almond and Coconut Bread. it is very filling, it can be toasted like normal bread, and you can also cut it into decent slices.
On my keto journey, there are times when I crave textures that break the monotony of my usual keto meals. So, in my quest to treat myself to something new, I made keto almond and coconut bread.

I am following up my previous Natural magnesium lunch menu, with a vegetarian version and with apparently more Magnesium content. Ingredients:
On a nonstick pan, heat some oil and add the butter. Add broccolis first since it will take some time to cook, but we don’t want to make them soggy as well, just fry till right crunch. Add mushrooms midway, keep stirring on high heat. Add the beans and the spinach at this stage. Let the spinach soften a bit, add a pinch of salt. Add the onions at last and top off with a little black pepper crushed. That’s it. Enjoy the Magnesium rich Keto meal.
I accidentally got sweetened almond milk and fell in love. So I went back and got unsweetened and lo! it didn't taste so good. So I want to try sweetening it. Is this just as straightforward as putting in sucralose? are there sweeteners that work better than others?
1 lb Ground Bison
1/4 cup Bell Pepper of Choice, finely chopped
1/2 Small Onion, finely chopped
1 Egg, lightly beaten
3 Garlic Cloves, minced
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Oregano
1/2 tsp Sea Salt plus more to taste
1/2 tsp Black Pepper plus more to taste
1/4 tsp Red Crushed Pepper, optional
Grated Parmesan
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or aluminum foil.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Mix until well-incorporated.
Form 1 1/2 inch meatballs (or about two tablespoons) and place onto a prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the meat is used.
Bake for 15 minutes, turning meatballs over halfway through.
*Grate Parmesan and enjoy
Has anyone come across a muffin recipe that has a sponge-like bounce?
I have tried half a dozen recipes as they all seem to share the characteristics of being super heavy with a crumbly top and wet bottom and I'm really missing that light sponge-like texture from a flour-based muffin.
Hello hope everyone is well.
I’m new to keto and looking for some advice please. I’m not sure if this is the correct subreddit to be posting in if it’s not then I apologise.
I don’t have access to coconut oil or MCT oil and I don’t like butter. So I was wondering could I use extra virgin olive oil in my coffee instead for breakfast?
Hello you all! I’m new in this group but has been on and off on keto for over a decade. I had couple years off and I’m now getting back on track again because I got diabetes.
Anyways, I love artichoke paste on sandwiches and now that I’m not eating bread anymore I need to find some ways to use over 30 jars of this artichoke paste I have. I have made white keto pizza so far, but I’m looking for other type of recipes and suggestions on how to use it all.
Bread of any kind (keto included) is my “drug” atm, triggering unbearable hunger so that’s why I can’t eat keto bread either at this time.

I am type 2 diabetic, so I eat lower carb, not Keto levels but between 50 to 75 carbs per day. It makes it where I can control it with just pill medications. A necessity since i am a trucker. I am home daily. But some days are 13 to 14 hours with a 30 minute commute each way. Meals like this is what keeps me from eating fast food on those days.
I have this prepped frozen meatball meal I make. Simple thing, meatballs, diced bell pepper, 2 or 3 tbsp Raos spaghetti sauce then up to an ounce of mozzarella. Then freeze it. Sometimes I will make keto meatballs sometimes I'll just buy the bag meatballs since they tend to be one carb per meatball. Either way It makes for a quick microwavable meal for those days I have to be back on the clock in less than 10 hours.
What I'm missing is something to pair well with it in the other side of the meal prep container. I would prefer something that could be frozen and microwaved with the meal but it's not necessary, just that it's a quick fix.
I have made larger meatballs meals by about 50%. But more of the same is less satisfying to me if you know what I mean.

I’ve been going down a YouTube rabbit hole since I did a cloud bread pizza dough.
I just watched a guy use blended up canned chicken breast and molecular gastronomy to make spaghetti/ramen that was basically zero carb. Another guy do mozzarella/xanthum gum/egg for pasta. Another woman did buns with powdered milk. I’m gearing up to do a fathead dough.
I love cooking Asian food, Mexican, pizzas, and I miss having a burger on a bun, but there’s just a TON of different options. I’ll experiment with a ton of these, but till then I wanted to see what y’all have had the most success with.
Macros: 542 cals, 50g protein, 11g net carbs, 33g fat
For the dough: 2/3 cup Carbonaut flour, 1/3 cup pumpkin purée, 1 egg. Knead and roll until flat. On a lightly floured surface, add small pieces of feta cheese in a vertical line, cut the dough, and fold the edges of the dough across each piece of feta. Boil for 3 minutes.
For the sauce: brown butter (I used ghee) over medium heat with sage leaves. Toss the boiled gnocchi into the sauce. Plate with 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese.

I decided to bring in some natural source of Magnesium. From the broccoli & green beans. But Spinach is missing, would have been great.
