Asa Dullet
Spicy Chopped Fish Stir-fry (No Injera)
Yes, with a tweak: omit injera. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ethiopian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Finely chopped or minced fish (often white fish) sautéed with a potent blend of onions, garlic, ginger, and hot peppers (like jalapeños) and spices. A spicy and aromatic dish, served as a dry-fry, without injera for a keto option.
Key ingredients
Minced white fish, onions, garlic, ginger, jalapeños, green bell peppers, berbere spice, oil (niter kibbeh or vegetable oil), salt.
How to make it keto
Omit injera. Ensure no high-carb binders or fillers are used with the minced fish. Request extra jalapeños and less onion if desired.
