This healthy keto burrito bowl recipe is a homemade version of that, but I swapped in thinly sliced steak for the meat and used cilantro lime cauliflower rice instead of no rice at all.

Khara bath tastes good on its own. But it is usually served with coriander Coconut chutney. The key to making a good khara bath lies in the spice powder used.

I personally do not prefer pasta and noodles in kids’ school box....
