Low Carb Recipes — Healthy expat cooking inspiration

[Priya Dogra]

Living abroad often means adapting our food habits to new cultures and ingredients.
For those of us following a low‑carb or keto lifestyle, it can be both a challenge and an adventure. I recently tried a classic Indian dish — Murgh Palak (Spinach Chicken) — in a keto‑friendly version. It’s simple, protein‑packed, and uses spinach for a healthy twist.
I’d love to hear from fellow expats: how do you adapt traditional dishes from your home country into low‑carb versions? Do you find local ingredients help or make it harder to stick to keto? Let’s share recipes, tips, and experiences so we can inspire each other to eat healthy while living abroad.
