Keto Chayote Curry
Yes, with a tweak: replaced high-carb potatoes with chayote. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kenyan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A flavorful vegetarian curry, traditionally made with potatoes, now using chayote chunks simmered in a rich, aromatic tomato and coconut milk-based sauce with a blend of East African curry spices, often including turmeric, ginger, and garlic.
Key ingredients
Chayote, Tomatoes, Onions, Garlic, Ginger, Coconut Milk (full fat), Curry Powder, Turmeric, Cooking Oil, Salt, Coriander.
How to make it keto

Watch out for
Overuse of tomatoes/onions, hidden sugars in pre-made curry powder/spice mixes, added sugar to balance tomato acidity.
