Chicken Do Pyaza (Keto Modified)
Keto Chicken with Double Onion Gravy
Yes, with a tweak: ensure onions are cooked down thoroughly to reduce effective carb count, not just added in large raw quantities. About 10g net carbs per serving.

Key ingredients
Chicken pieces, onions (carefully portioned, slow-cooked), ginger, garlic, ghee/oil, tomatoes (minimal), whole spices (cardamom, cinnamon, cloves), ground spices (turmeric, coriander, cumin, red chili powder, garam masala), salt, fresh cilantro.
