El Ají de Maní, sin arroz ni papas. Pido una ensalada o vegetales al vapor. ¿La salsa de maní no lleva azúcar ni espesantes con almidón?
For the Ají de Maní, no rice or potatoes. I'd like a side salad or steamed non-starchy vegetables. Please confirm no sugar or starchy thickeners in the peanut sauce.

Carbs from peanuts (naturally higher than other nuts), potential hidden sugars in the sauce, starchy thickeners, and vegetable carbs from aji and onion.
