Bata Dry Fry
Dry Fried Duck
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no sugar is added to the tomato base or spice mix. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kenyan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Succulent duck pieces, often with skin, pan-fried to crisp perfection with sautéed onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and a rich blend of East African spices, resulting in a deeply flavorful and aromatic dish.
Key ingredients
Duck, cooking oil (or rendered duck fat), onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, fresh cilantro, green chilies (optional), salt, black pepper, spices (e.g., garam masala, turmeric, paprika).
How to make it keto
Ensure no sugar is added to the tomato base or spice mix. Request minimal tomatoes and onions for stricter carb control. Served without any carb-rich sides.
Watch out for
High quantities of tomatoes and onions used in the stir-fry base; potential for hidden sugar in pre-made spice blends or sauces.
