Anda is the Hindi word for egg and this is one egg-celent dish. It’s boil eggs cooked in a spiced butter and then cooked further in a gravy of onions and tomatoes. Yes, you can eat onions and tomatoes on Keto and if you have a problem with that please watch my video. What foods can I eat on Keto. Anyway, enough jibber jabber and lettuce cook.
Counting carbs & a serving
If you watched the video, you saw 7 eggs. The recipe shows 6 eggs. The reason I did this was because this recipe makes 3 servings which means 2 eggs per person.
Imagine dividing 7 eggs into 3 servings, it’s just painful maths. I’ve just simplified it. You can easily up the fat as well by just adding butter on top of your portion and if you wish to reduce carbs just use less onions and tomato.
I personally think at 5g carbs for a serving isn’t bad at all. So it’s your call. While cooking this you can add more water to it to making it more of a ‘curry’. You can blend the masala to make a smoother paste.
You can add some cream to this for a richer curry. I think there are plenty of tweaks you can make to this recipe to take it up a notch. I wanted to keep it simple and authentic. Anyway, enjoy!
