About this ebook
There is a quiet loneliness no one warns you about—sitting at the family table after surgery, watching everyone reach for the rajma, the rice, and the hot rotis, while you sit with your small bowl and a deep homesickness for the food you grew up on. If you are looking for a way to enjoy familiar comforting flavors, this bariatric Indian cookbook is your guide to reclaiming your heritage.
You don't have to give up your favorite dishes to stay on track. This collection of high-protein Indian recipes proves that our traditional foods and your health goals can go hand-in-hand. By reducing heavy ghee, deep frying, and excess carbohydrates, and elevating lean protein, we keep the unmistakable soul of Desi cuisine intact. It is entirely possible to enjoy satisfying, flavor-packed gastric sleeve Indian food that fully respects your new stomach.
INSIDE YOU'LL FIND:
25+ high-protein South Asian recipes—including authentic dals, baked tandoori, spiced paneer, nourishing egg dishes, and vegetable mains
Protein-first portions designed specifically for your new stomach capacity, complete with precise per-serving protein estimates
