Asa Kilkil (Keto Modified)
Mild Fish Stew with Zucchini and Cabbage
Yes, with a tweak: omit injera. About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Flaky white fish (such as tilapia or snapper) gently simmered in a light, turmeric-spiced broth with mild vegetables like zucchini, cabbage, and bell peppers. 'Kilkil' denotes a simpler, often clearer stew compared to a 'wot'. Served without traditional injera for a keto meal.
Key ingredients
White fish fillets, onions, garlic, ginger, turmeric, green bell peppers, zucchini, cabbage, olive oil, salt, black pepper, water or light broth.
How to make it keto
Omit injera. Ensure any vegetables used are low-carb (e.g., replace potatoes or carrots with zucchini, bell peppers, or extra cabbage).
Watch out for
Onions, trace amounts from other restaurant-added high-carb vegetables if not specified (e.g., carrots).
