Regulate amount of fat

 Unfortunately, the amount of fat used in Indian food often gets too much and can hinder your weight loss progress. Fried food especially is not recommended if you are planning to stay lean and slim. Try to cook your curries in minimal oil. Avoid adding any cream to your curries and dishes that cannot be made without it -- 

such as butter chicken or malai kofta -- should only be eaten occasionally and in moderate portions.

Indian food has an abundance of carbs and a typical Indian food plate would definitely be having either rotis or rice. It is advised to choose either of the two. Naan breads --made of refined flour--are to be avoided as they can promote weight gain. While filling up your plate,

 try to focus more on the veggies, preferably green vegetables instead of starchy veggies. Vegetables that are cooked in a cooker, instead of being deep-fried, are always a better option for weight loss.

Since the Indian plate has a lot of carbs, you need to keep in mind to incorporate protein, especially if you are working out to lose weight. If you are a non-vegetarian, you can go for chicken tikkas or chicken curries (without butter) or eggs.


 If you are a vegetarian, you can have dishes like paneer curry, peas curry, soyabean curry and chickpeas curry. Incorporate yogurt in your everyday diet for a kick of protein and probiotics for a healthy gut.
