Your spice box is already keto

Nothing in the dabba needs replacing. The carbohydrate in Indian food lives in the rice, the roti and the sugar in the gravy — not in the masala.

The masala dabba does the work
Cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, cardamom, cloves and fenugreek carry essentially no carbohydrate. Flavour is the one thing keto never has to take away from Indian cooking.
Ghee is the default fat
It has a high smoke point, it is what the technique was built around, and it costs you nothing in carbs. Bloom whole spices in it before anything else goes in the pan.
Swap the starch, keep the dish
Cauliflower for rice, almond and psyllium doughs for roti, cream and cashew-free thickeners for gravies that would otherwise lean on onion and tomato paste.
