How to make it keto
Crucially, request no potatoes. Ensure no added sugar or high-carb thickeners in the gravy. Specify a restaurant portion of duck eggs (approx. 2-3 eggs per serving).
Say this to the waiter (Bengali)
হাঁসের ডিম ডালনাতে আলু দেবেন না। গ্রেভিতে চিনি বা শ্বেতসার জাতীয় ঘন করার কিছু ব্যবহার করবেন না। দুই বা তিনটি হাঁসের ডিম চাই।
Please prepare Hansher Dim Dalna without potatoes. Ensure no sugar or high-carb thickeners in the gravy. I'd like two or three duck eggs.
Watch out for
Potatoes are a common addition in traditional dalna; omission is paramount. Hidden sugars in restaurant gravies, excess use of onions and tomatoes.
