How to make it keto
Request no injera. Ensure no sugary marinades are used. Confirm it's not 'Awaze Tibs' which can sometimes have sweeter elements in the sauce.
Say this to the waiter (Amharic)
የበግ ጥብስ፣ እንጀራ አይኑር። ስኳር የያዘ ማሪናድ እንዳይጠቀምበት። አዋዜ ጥብስ አይደለም አይደል?
Ye'beg Tibs, no injera. No sugary marinades, please. Is this Awaze Tibs?
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in marinades or sauces, bell peppers/onions add minor carbs, cross-contamination.
