How to make it keto
Ensure no sugar is added to the marinade. Request to omit all starchy sides like ugali, chapati, potatoes, or rice. Ask for a side of kachumbari (fresh tomato and onion salad) without carrots if possible, or just plain avocado/greens.
Watch out for
Sugar in marinade, hidden starchy binders if pre-marinated, high-carb traditional accompaniments.
