How to make it keto
Confirm no potatoes, carrots, or legumes. Explicitly ask if any flour or starch is used as a thickener and request omission. Serve without injera. Can request addition of beef or chicken for a more substantial main dish.
Watch out for
Onions (in quantity), potential hidden flour thickeners, hidden sugar in berbere or tomato paste.
