How to make it keto
Ensure no flour or cornstarch is used for thickening. Request minimal onion and tomato, or confirm only fresh tomatoes are used without added sugar.
Watch out for
Flour or cornstarch as a thickener. Excessive onion or tomato content, especially processed tomato paste with hidden sugars. Eggplant contains some carbohydrates, so portion size should be considered for strict keto.
