We’ve adapted this classic to be fully keto-friendly with a sugar-free mint chutney and low-carb ingredients, making it ideal for a satisfying lunch or dinner.

What makes this dish extra special is the contrast of textures: creamy paneer, tender-crisp bell peppers, and that cooling chutney to balance the heat. It’s a crowd-pleaser that works beautifully as a meal, appetizer, or even part of a party spread.
