Keto Nech Siga Wot
White Beef Stew (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes, carrots, or other starchy vegetables. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ethiopian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A delicate and mildly spiced beef stew, distinct from the red (Key Wot) or yellow (Alicha Wot) stews. Known for its lighter color and less intense spice profile, it is prepared with lean beef, onions, garlic, ginger, and sometimes a hint of green chili, often without berbere.
Key ingredients
Beef, niter kibbeh, red onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies, salt, turmeric (optional, for a very light yellow hue).
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes, carrots, or other starchy vegetables. Crucially, confirm no chickpea flour (shiro) or other thickeners are used. Served without injera.
Watch out for
High onion content, potential for flour/chickpea flour thickeners, sometimes trace amounts of sugar in restaurant preparations.
