Crucially request no rice or other starchy side dishes. If a creamy version, confirm that heavy cream is used and no flour or cornstarch is used as a thickener. Ensure no hidden sugars in marinades or sauces.
Watch out for
The primary carb risk is the traditional rice accompaniment and potential flour/cornstarch thickeners in the stew. Hidden sugars in pre-made sauces or seasoning mixes.
