Keto friendliness
Fundamentally anti-keto because the cuisine is entirely designed to be eaten with your hands using a spongy, high-carb flatbread as the utensil.
Top ingredients
Doro wat (chicken stew) or tibs (sautéed meats)—but only if eaten with a fork.
Danger zones
njera (the foundational bread served under and with every meal), lentil stews (misir wat), and split pea dishes.
Best for
Dieters willing to completely break cultural norms by eating traditional stews with a fork and ignoring the foundational bread.
