What it is

How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for 'no injera'. Confirm no potatoes, carrots, or other starchy vegetables are added to the stew.
Watch out for
Onions can be used generously. Hidden sugars in pre-made berbere. Accidental inclusion of starchy vegetables, which are sometimes used to thicken stews.
