My Keto Naan Is Easy, Flavorful, and Perfect for Indian Food Night

I’ve been loving Indian food lately, so I made a flatbread recipe that fits my low carb lifestyle and pairs perfectly with my butter chicken and tandoori chicken . This keto naan uses almond flour and Greek yogurt to keep it light and flavorful. If you’ve worked with fathead dough before, it’ll feel easy and familiar. If not, it’s a great place to start before trying my fathead pizza crust recipe ! Here’s why you’ll love it:

• So easy to make – With under 10 ingredients and about 25 minutes total, you’ll have fresh naan ready fast.
• Just plain better for you – It has just 6 grams of net carbs per piece, while traditional naan bread has over 40. Plus it’s made with almond flour, making it a gluten free naan you’ll love even if you’re not low carb.
• No-fail method – As I mentioned, this recipe uses the same foolproof technique I rely on for my fathead pizza crust , but also keto bagels , pretzels , and more. You’ll get soft, golden naan every time.

Can’t wait for you to try this homemade naan. Grab your ingredients and make it with me!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here I explain the best ingredients for my keto naan recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card .

• Mozzarella Cheese – I use mozzarella because it melts beautifully and helps bind the dough while giving the naan a nice chewy, cheesy texture. If you want a different flavor, try mixing in some provolone or mild cheddar.
• Full-fat Greek yogurt – Adds moisture and a tangy flavor that keeps the naan soft. If you don’t have it, sour cream works too.
• Eggs – I recommend using room temperature eggs here because they blend more easily with the other ingredients and help the dough come together smoothly.
• Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour – This is my go-to low carb flour because it’s finely ground and doesn’t add any gritty texture. It keeps the keto naan light while keeping it gluten free.
• Baking Powder – I use this to give the naan a little rise and makes it puff up slightly in the oven, so it doesn’t end up too flat or dense. Make sure it’s fresh for the best results!
• Unsalted Butter – I brush the naan with melted unsalted butter for richness and to help those garlic and parsley flavors really shine. If you want, you can swap in ghee or olive oil.
• Garlic Powder – This is classic for traditional naan. If you want to mix it up, try smoked paprika, ground cumin, or even a pinch of chili powder for a little smoky, earthy, or spicy twist.
• Fresh Parsley – I love sprinkling it on last for a pop of color and flavor. Cilantro would be a nice swap if you want something a little different.

How To Make Keto Naan

I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card .

1. Melt and mix. Toss the shredded mozzarella and Greek yogurt into a bowl and heat until melted and smooth. Then, in another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and eggs to get your flour mixture ready.
2. Make the dough. While the cheese mix is still warm, add the flour mix and knead it with your hands until you get a uniform dough. If it’s sticky, I pop it in the fridge briefly to firm up.
3. Shape it. Cut the dough into sections, roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it out into a flatbread shape with your hands.
4. Bake and finish. Bake the keto naan on a baking sheet until it starts to get golden spots, then brush it with butter mixed with garlic powder and parsley. Pop it back in the oven until it’s nicely browned.

My Recipe Tips

• A food processor isn’t required but makes mixing easier and the dough smoother. I usually mix by hand, but this food processor helps blend everything evenly.
• When kneading by hand, squeezing the dough between your fingers helps get it uniform and smooth. It takes a little practice but makes a big difference.
• If the cheese cools and hardens before it mixes fully, I give the dough a quick zap in the microwave to soften it again. That makes it easier to work with and keeps it from clumping.
• Sticky dough can be tricky, especially if the kitchen is warm. When that happens, I chill it in the fridge for a bit to make it easier to handle.
• To stop the dough from sticking to my hands while shaping, I lightly oil my palms. This simple trick makes shaping keto naan way easier.
• Keto naan is meant to be rustic, so don’t stress about perfect shapes. I find shaping by hand easier, but if you roll it out, use parchment paper on both sides to keep it from sticking.
• Make sure your baking sheet is big! I use this extra large one so the naan has plenty of room to bake without sticking together. It also makes flipping and taking them off the sheet way easier.
• Want something lighter and softer? My keto flatbread recipe is more like pita and a great alternative.

Ingredients

Tap underlined ingredients to see the ones I use.

• 3 cups Mozzarella cheese ▢
• 2 tbsp Full-fat Greek yogurt ▢
• 2 large Eggs ▢
• 1 1/2 cups Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour ▢
• 1 tbsp Baking powder ▢
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter ▢
• 1/2 tsp Garlic powder ▢
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped) ▢

Instructions

Tap on the times in the instructions to start a kitchen timer.

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (191 degrees C). Line an extra large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine the shredded mozzarella and Greek yogurt in a large bowl. Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes , stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and stirrable to be smooth. Stir again at the end until well incorporated. (You can also use a double boiler on the stove if you’d like.)
3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, baking powder, and eggs.
4. Working quickly while the cheese is still hot, add the flour mixture to the cheese mixture. Knead with your hands, squeezing through your fingers, until a uniform dough forms.
5. Form the dough into a ball. If it’s sticky, chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes , just until slightly cool to the touch but not stiff or frigid cold. (This is optional, only if it’s too sticky to work with.)
6. Cut the dough ball into 6 sections, like a pie. Take one piece, roll into a ball, then shape with your hands into a flatbread shape, about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
7. Bake the naan in the oven for about 8 to 11 minutes , until a few golden brown spots form, but slightly before it looks fully done. If any bubbles form, pop them with a fork to flatten.
8. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the butter, garlic powder and fresh parsley. Brush over the naan.
9. Return the naan to the oven for about 2 more minutes, until more golden brown.

The Basic Keto Meal Formula

Eating keto doesn’t have to be complicated! While there are plenty of delicious easy keto recipes to choose from, you don’t even have to cook from a recipe to get started.

Simply follow the keto cheat sheet formula of protein + veggie + fat for your meals.

Be sure to choose a moderate amount of protein, only low carb vegetables (mostly ones that grow above ground), and generous fat to attain an optimal macro ratio. That’s approximately 60-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates. The table below will give you ideas for what to choose.

Understanding Macros

Macros are macronutrients for short. They include fat, protein, and carbohydrates.

You can calculate your own macros using the macro calculator , but the macro keto cheat sheet below will explain how to look at macros when following a keto lifestyle.

Carbs Are A Limit.

Keeping carbs low is what gets you into ketosis and keeps you there. Ketosis means that you’re using fat as your primary energy source instead of sugar, and requires keeping carbs very low.

A good starting point is 20-25 grams net carbs per day, but you can experiment after a few weeks to see if your body stays in ketosis at higher levels. People who are very active may be able to do more and stay in ketosis, up to around 50 grams per day.

“Carbs are a limit” means that you set a limit for how many carbs to eat per day and don’t exceed it. You don’t have to hit that limit, so if you’re under that’s okay, just don’t go over. Ideally most of your carbs would come from low carb vegetables, and if you’re eating enough veggies, you’ll usually get close to the limit naturally.

A common misconception is that reaching ketosis requires a certain macro ratio, but it’s really only restricting your carb intake that gets you there [ * ]. In the absence of sufficient carbs to use as energy, the body will switch to using fat as fuel. This is called the metabolic state of ketosis.

Protein Is A Goal.

Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of all our cells. It’s a crucial for keeping our muscles strong and for many cellular functions [ * ].

“Protein is a goal” means that you always want to eat enough protein to reach the goal each day, but not exceed it too much. You want enough for your needs, but excess protein can trigger gluconeogenesis, which is protein being converted to sugar [ * ] and can kick you out of ketosis.

Fat Is A Lever.

Fat is the primary macronutrient in a keto lifestyle, because being in ketosis means that fat is your primary fuel source. Fat as a fuel source will come from your food, and if you are losing weight, from your body.

A big advantage of a keto lifestyle is the high fat intake. It keeps you full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to, and using it as the primary fuel source makes it easier on your body to burn body fat, with a lower chance of breaking down your muscle (provided you get enough protein).

Aside from reaching your protein goal and limiting your carbs, the remainder of your calories on a keto diet comes from fat.

Don’t fear fat – it’s your main energy source on keto, and getting enough of it trains your body to use fat for fuel instead of sugar. That means that as long as you are not overdoing your overall calorie intake, you’ll efficiently burn your body fat for fuel as well.

“Fat is a lever” means that you can increase or decrease your fat intake depending on your goals and hunger levels. Increase it (along with exercise) to gain muscle, or decrease it to lose weight.

Keto Food Swaps

One of my favorite challenges is creating recipes, or just discovering, keto food swaps. These are delicious keto replacements for traditionally high-carb or high-sugar foods.

So, I created this keto diet cheat sheet with all the swaps in one place! I also have more keto food swaps in my Easy Keto Cookbook .

Keto Swaps For Bread

Keto Swaps For Meals & Side Dishes

Keto Swaps For Snacks & Sauces

Keto Swaps For Cooking & Baking

Keto Food List

When looking for a keto cheat sheet printable, the most-requested information is a keto food list.

The great thing is that keto doesn’t have to feel restrictive. It’s incredibly satisfying and there’s such a wide variety of foods you can eat!

Foods To Eat On Keto

• Leafy greens – Such as spinach, chard, and lettuce.
• Above-ground veggies – Such as peppers, zucchini, and cauliflower.
• Full-fat cream & cheese – Such as heavy cream, sour cream, and full-fat hard cheeses.
• Natural meats – Such as beef, lamb, and pork.
• Berries – Such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
• Avocados
• Unsweetened nut milks – Such as almond milk and coconut milk.
• Almond flour and coconut flour
• Eggs
• Healthy fats – Such as coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil and butter.

Foods To Avoid On Keto

• White flour & sugar
• Rice & grains – Such as barley, wheat, and corn.
• Milk & yogurt – Such as fruit on the bottom yogurt, sweetened Greek yogurt, and all milk.
• Cereal
• Processed food – Such as granola bars, candy
• Most fruit – Such as apples, bananas, and grapes
• Hydrogenated fats – Such as vegetable oil, soybean oil, and margarine
• Sweetened beverages & condiments – Such as soda, ketchup, and sweet dressings
• Starchy veggies – Such as peas, carrots, and beets.
• Potatoes – Such as sweet potatoes and white potatoes.

That’s the short keto diet cheat sheet version of all the keto food categories, but I recommend downloading the full Keto Cheat Sheet System. It includes a super detailed printable keto food list with over 100 items, including 2 color-coded pages with net carb counts, along with 6 more pages of keto cheat sheets:

Electrolyte Basics

Getting enough electrolytes is crucial for anyone, but especially so on a keto diet. The reason is that ketosis has a diuretic effect, which increases excretion of water and electrolytes, especially sodium [ * ]. This is often the cause of the keto flu.

For more details on electrolytes and avoiding keto flu, check out the full keto flu guide here .

The important thing to know about electrolytes is that replenishing them will keep keto flu away and keep your body functioning well. I always recommend an electrolyte drink and whole food sources of anything your body needs before resorting to supplements, so I made a list of what to eat to get each of the 3 major electrolytes – sodium, magnesium and potassium.

Here’s your keto diet cheat sheet for getting electrolytes from food:

Keto Diet Types

People follow a keto lifestyle for different reasons. Some do it just to lose weight, others are after better overall health, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.

Strictly speaking, the defining factor of a keto diet is the metabolic state of ketosis, which is achieved by restricting carbs. However, many people (myself included) also reduce or eliminate processed, inflammatory, or low-nutrient foods.

Below is your keto cheat sheet summary of the different ways that people follow keto. You choose what works best for your goals and lifestyle!

• Strict Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, count all calories and macros, and eat clean, unprocessed foods.
• Lazy Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, and track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking.
• Dirty Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, with “if it fits your macros” approach including processed foods.
• Low Carb – Up to 50-100g net carbs daily, less strict.

My Keto Naan Is Easy, Flavorful, and Perfect for Indian Food Night

I’ve been loving Indian food lately, so I made a flatbread recipe that fits my low carb lifestyle and pairs perfectly with my butter chicken and tandoori chicken . This keto naan uses almond flour and Greek yogurt to keep it light and flavorful. If you’ve worked with fathead dough before, it’ll feel easy and familiar. If not, it’s a great place to start before trying my fathead pizza crust recipe ! Here’s why you’ll love it:

• So easy to make – With under 10 ingredients and about 25 minutes total, you’ll have fresh naan ready fast.
• Just plain better for you – It has just 6 grams of net carbs per piece, while traditional naan bread has over 40. Plus it’s made with almond flour, making it a gluten free naan you’ll love even if you’re not low carb.
• No-fail method – As I mentioned, this recipe uses the same foolproof technique I rely on for my fathead pizza crust , but also keto bagels , pretzels , and more. You’ll get soft, golden naan every time.

Can’t wait for you to try this homemade naan. Grab your ingredients and make it with me!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here I explain the best ingredients for my keto naan recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card .

• Mozzarella Cheese – I use mozzarella because it melts beautifully and helps bind the dough while giving the naan a nice chewy, cheesy texture. If you want a different flavor, try mixing in some provolone or mild cheddar.
• Full-fat Greek yogurt – Adds moisture and a tangy flavor that keeps the naan soft. If you don’t have it, sour cream works too.
• Eggs – I recommend using room temperature eggs here because they blend more easily with the other ingredients and help the dough come together smoothly.
• Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour – This is my go-to low carb flour because it’s finely ground and doesn’t add any gritty texture. It keeps the keto naan light while keeping it gluten free.
• Baking Powder – I use this to give the naan a little rise and makes it puff up slightly in the oven, so it doesn’t end up too flat or dense. Make sure it’s fresh for the best results!
• Unsalted Butter – I brush the naan with melted unsalted butter for richness and to help those garlic and parsley flavors really shine. If you want, you can swap in ghee or olive oil.
• Garlic Powder – This is classic for traditional naan. If you want to mix it up, try smoked paprika, ground cumin, or even a pinch of chili powder for a little smoky, earthy, or spicy twist.
• Fresh Parsley – I love sprinkling it on last for a pop of color and flavor. Cilantro would be a nice swap if you want something a little different.

How To Make Keto Naan

I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card .

1. Melt and mix. Toss the shredded mozzarella and Greek yogurt into a bowl and heat until melted and smooth. Then, in another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and eggs to get your flour mixture ready.
2. Make the dough. While the cheese mix is still warm, add the flour mix and knead it with your hands until you get a uniform dough. If it’s sticky, I pop it in the fridge briefly to firm up.
3. Shape it. Cut the dough into sections, roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it out into a flatbread shape with your hands.
4. Bake and finish. Bake the keto naan on a baking sheet until it starts to get golden spots, then brush it with butter mixed with garlic powder and parsley. Pop it back in the oven until it’s nicely browned.

My Recipe Tips

• A food processor isn’t required but makes mixing easier and the dough smoother. I usually mix by hand, but this food processor helps blend everything evenly.
• When kneading by hand, squeezing the dough between your fingers helps get it uniform and smooth. It takes a little practice but makes a big difference.
• If the cheese cools and hardens before it mixes fully, I give the dough a quick zap in the microwave to soften it again. That makes it easier to work with and keeps it from clumping.
• Sticky dough can be tricky, especially if the kitchen is warm. When that happens, I chill it in the fridge for a bit to make it easier to handle.
• To stop the dough from sticking to my hands while shaping, I lightly oil my palms. This simple trick makes shaping keto naan way easier.
• Keto naan is meant to be rustic, so don’t stress about perfect shapes. I find shaping by hand easier, but if you roll it out, use parchment paper on both sides to keep it from sticking.
• Make sure your baking sheet is big! I use this extra large one so the naan has plenty of room to bake without sticking together. It also makes flipping and taking them off the sheet way easier.
• Want something lighter and softer? My keto flatbread recipe is more like pita and a great alternative.

• 3 cups Mozzarella cheese ▢
• 2 tbsp Full-fat Greek yogurt ▢
• 2 large Eggs ▢
• 1 1/2 cups Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour ▢
• 1 tbsp Baking powder ▢

Instructions

Tap on the times in the instructions to start a kitchen timer.

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (191 degrees C). Line an extra large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine the shredded mozzarella and Greek yogurt in a large bowl. Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes , stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and stirrable to be smooth. Stir again at the end until well incorporated. (You can also use a double boiler on the stove if you’d like.)
3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, baking powder, and eggs.
4. Working quickly while the cheese is still hot, add the flour mixture to the cheese mixture. Knead with your hands, squeezing through your fingers, until a uniform dough forms.
5. Form the dough into a ball. If it’s sticky, chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes , just until slightly cool to the touch but not stiff or frigid cold. (This is optional, only if it’s too sticky to work with.)
6. Cut the dough ball into 6 sections, like a pie. Take one piece, roll into a ball, then shape with your hands into a flatbread shape, about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
7. Bake the naan in the oven for about 8 to 11 minutes , until a few golden brown spots form, but slightly before it looks fully done. If any bubbles form, pop them with a fork to flatten.
8. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the butter, garlic powder and fresh parsley. Brush over the naan.
9. Return the naan to the oven for about 2 more minutes, until more golden brown.
