Kuku Curry (Keto Modified)
Chicken Curry without Carbs
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request 'no potatoes, no carrots, no peas, no corn'. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kenyan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender chicken pieces cooked in a rich, aromatic tomato and onion-based gravy with a blend of curry powder, turmeric, and garam masala. While traditionally served with rice or chapati, and sometimes containing potatoes or carrots, this modification focuses purely on the protein-rich curry.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces, onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, green chilies, curry powder, turmeric, garam masala, cooking oil, fresh cilantro, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Explicitly request 'no potatoes, no carrots, no peas, no corn'. Ensure no flour-based thickeners are used. Serve with a keto-friendly side like stewed sukuma wiki or avocado instead of ugali, rice, or chapati.
Watch out for
Hidden potatoes/carrots/peas, flour-based thickeners, and sugar in the tomato base are common restaurant risks.
