Indian fare usually implies heavy sauces and high fat, making it better suited for cheat days than part of a regular diet plan. But replace butter with a little bit of coconut oil and a lot of spices and you’ve got a high-protein dish that doesn’t sacrifice any flavor. As is, this meal can be a staple in a low-carb diet plan. Add rice or a slice of flatbread, and it’s a great post-workout dish or clean-bulk meal.
