Kuku Paka
Chicken in Coconut Curry
Yes, with a tweak: no specific modifications needed for the dish itself. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kenyan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender chicken pieces simmered in a rich, creamy coconut milk-based curry with a fragrant blend of ginger, garlic, turmeric, green chilies, and mild spices. A coastal specialty, the curry itself is naturally keto-friendly.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (bone-in or boneless), coconut milk, onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, vegetable oil, fresh cilantro, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
No specific modifications needed for the dish itself. Request to omit starchy side dishes like ugali, rice, or chapati.
