    Keto Chicken Curry:

    Chicken is an excellent source of protein and it's a delicious option for people who are on a lchf (low carbohydrates and Low Fat) or Keto diet.. Also chicken by itself is way too lean to be keto so we add some fat along with chicken in this recipe the source of fat is Almond or Badam and hence it can be an excellent ketogenic meal,

    Some Almond Chicken and a cheese loaded omelette makes a wonderful and filling keto meal.

    Variations in Almond Chicken:

    Badami Chicken is another variation and it is the traditional chicken dish made with Almonds,Fried onions and spices ,

    However in this recipe you can replace Almond with Cashew-nuts or even freshly grated coconut.

    Serving Suggestion

    Badam Chicken is perfect with Tandoori Roti / Rumali Roti or spicy Pulao and Biryani.
