Keto Butter Chicken (1 Cup) and White Rice (1 Cup, Cooked)

Replace most or all of the white rice with cauliflower rice, or use a smaller measured portion of rice alongside extra non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, zucchini, or green beans.

Eat the butter chicken with a larger serving of fiber-rich vegetables first, then have the rice last to slow the rise in glucose.

Keep the butter chicken sauce portion moderate and choose a version without added sugar, honey, sweetened yogurt, or sugary premade sauces.

Add a protein- and fiber-forward side such as lentils, chickpeas, or a salad with leafy greens, cucumber, and olive-oil dressing; reduce the rice portion accordingly.

Avoid sugary drinks, naan, and dessert with this meal; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk soon after eating, if this is safe and appropriate for you.
