How to make it keto
Crucially, this version uses cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice. Confirm that the cauliflower is fried in healthy fats and that no starchy vegetables (like potatoes or carrots) are added.
Watch out for
Hidden starch in commercial spice mixes; restaurant adding high-carb vegetables like potatoes or carrots; small amounts of tomato paste in traditional recipes (confirm omission or minimal use).
