Keto-Friendly Indian Desserts: 10 Delicious Low-Carb Sweets

Craving Indian sweets but on a keto diet? You don’t have to miss out! With a few smart ingredient swaps, you can enjoy guilt-free, sugar-free, and low-carb versions of your favorite Indian desserts.

In this blog, we’ll explore 10 easy keto-friendly Indian desserts that satisfy your sweet tooth without kicking you out of ketosis.


Why Keto Indian Desserts?

Traditional Indian sweets are loaded with sugar, refined flour, and high-carb ingredients. Keto versions use:
✔ Natural sweeteners (Erythritol, Stevia, Monk Fruit)
