Pork Stew (Kerala Style, Keto Modified)
Kerala Style Pork and Coconut Stew (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no potatoes, carrots, or peas are used. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Indian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A comforting and aromatic stew from Kerala, featuring tender chunks of pork slow-cooked in a rich and creamy coconut milk base with fragrant whole spices, ginger, garlic, and curry leaves. The keto version omits traditional high-carb vegetables.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder/belly, thick coconut milk, thin coconut milk, ginger, garlic, green chilies, curry leaves, whole spices (green cardamom, cloves, cinnamon sticks, black peppercorns), moderate onion, coconut oil, salt.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no potatoes, carrots, or peas are used. If vegetables are included, confirm they are low-carb options like bell peppers or minimal green beans. The stew should be naturally thickened by the coconut milk, not flour or cornstarch.
Say this to the waiter (Hindi)
पोर्क स्टू (केरल स्टाइल) में, कृपया आलू, गाजर या मटर न डालें। अगर सब्ज़ियां हों, तो सिर्फ़ शिमला मिर्च या बहुत कम फ्रेंच बीन्स जैसी कम कार्ब वाली हों। स्टू सिर्फ़ नारियल दूध से गाढ़ा हो, आटा/कॉर्नस्टार्च से नहीं।
