Beef Stew
Beef Stew with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: request no ugali, rice, chapati, or potatoes. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kenyan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Chunks of beef simmered until tender in a flavorful tomato-based sauce with onions, garlic, ginger, and Kenyan spices. The rich stew is traditionally served with starchy accompaniments, which must be omitted for keto.
Key ingredients
Beef, tomatoes, onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, cooking oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request no ugali, rice, chapati, or potatoes. Ask for extra stew or a simple green salad (oil & vinegar dressing only). Confirm no flour or cornstarch is used as a thickener.
Watch out for
Onions, tomatoes, hidden sugars in tomato paste or certain spice mixes. Large amounts of diced carrots or potatoes are sometimes added in restaurants.
