Fanta Doro (Keto, no Injera)
Light Spiced Chicken Stew (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly omit injera. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ethiopian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender chicken pieces (often drumsticks or thighs) simmered in a mild, savory sauce made with onions, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and often a touch of cream or yogurt. It is lighter in color and significantly less spicy than Doro Wat. Served without injera for a keto meal.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces, niter kibbeh, red onions, garlic, ginger, turmeric, salt, black pepper, light cream or unsweetened coconut milk, water or chicken broth.
How to make it keto
Explicitly omit injera. Confirm no hidden flour or starch thickeners are used in the sauce. Ensure any cream/yogurt used is unsweetened and low-carb. Request a side of gomen.
Watch out for
Onions, cream/yogurt (check for sugar), restaurant spice blends, potential thickeners.
