Beef Tendon Stew with Indigenous Greens
Yes, with a tweak: request no flour, cornstarch, or other carb-based thickeners. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kenyan food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Beef tendons, tomatoes, onions, garlic, ginger, indigenous greens (mchicha/managu), cooking oil, salt, pepper, mild spices.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no flour, cornstarch, or other carb-based thickeners. Ensure only keto-friendly vegetables are used (e.g., avoiding potatoes or carrots in the 'mboga'). Request minimal use of tomatoes and onions if very strict carb counting.
Watch out for
Carb-based thickeners (flour, cornstarch). High-carb vegetables in the stew (potatoes, carrots). Excessive use of tomatoes and onions. Hidden sugars in pre-made stew bases or spices.
