Keto Poori
Cyd ConverseThis keto poori recipe allows you to enjoy your favorite snack guilt-free!
Poori, also known as puri, is a traditional type of Indian bread, made of whole wheat flour and fried.
These delicious fried breads are commonly served for breakfast or even as a snack. You can also find them stuffed with mashed potatoes or vegetables, which are equally delicious. The only problem is that typical poori is not particularly keto-friendly.
This recipe, however, has a few changes to the traditional one, creating a keto poori that tastes amazing.
The recipe calls for xanthan gum, which you may not have heard of before. Xanthan gum is an additive often found in gluten-free products. It is used to help thicken and stabilize foods.
There has been quite a bit of controversy over xanthan gum, but the FDA has deemed it safe for consumption. In fact, there are health benefits that are linked with xanthan gum,and it is believed to lower cholesterol and aid in weight loss.
It has been found that xanthan gum may only pose a problem if consumed in amounts over 15 grams, which is highly unlikely in most diets.
A great side dish for Keto Poori is Santula, a vegetable mixture from the state of Odishu in Eastern India. Our favorite version of the vegetable mixture is included here, along with our recipe for Keto Poori.
