One of the greatest myths and misconceptions about Indian food is that it is not very diet-friendly. Being in the Indian food business for such a long time, we find this notion extremely unfair. Indian cuisines actually include extremely nutritious spice and herbs that are cooked in a way that helps retain their nutritional value while making the dish immensely flavorful. Indian food includes fiber-rich carbs, healthy fats, proteins, and all other essential elements that create a balanced diet.
Many of our customers here at Indian Delight often ask us for diet-friendly recommendations from the menu. Thankfully, we have a lot of diet-friendly options to offer to our customers.
Here is our guide to ordering Diet-friendly meals from our Menu.
