Chicken in Ghee with Chili
Yes, keto as served. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Tender chicken pieces slow-cooked in rich ghee with a blend of fresh chilies, onions, garlic, and ginger, creating a deeply flavored and spicy dish. It's naturally low-carb due to its focus on fat and protein.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces, ghee, red onion, garlic, ginger, green chilies, tomatoes (minimal), fresh coriander, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugar is added to the tomato base; served without rice or ugali. Request extra ghee for higher fat content.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in tomato base, too much onion/tomato, flour-based marinades (rare for this style).
