Mchuzi wa Samaki na Majani ya Maboga
Fish Stew with Pumpkin Leaves
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour or cornstarch is used to thicken the stew. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kenyan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty home-style stew combining flaky white fish (such as Tilapia or Nile Perch) with fresh, nutrient-rich pumpkin leaves, cooked in a savory tomato and onion base, seasoned with local herbs and spices.
Key ingredients
White fish fillets, fresh pumpkin leaves, onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, cooking oil, salt, black pepper, local spices.
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour or cornstarch is used to thicken the stew. Request minimal tomato and onion if carb-sensitive. Confirm no added sugar to the sauce.
Watch out for
Flour or cornstarch as a thickener. Excessive onion or tomato content, especially processed tomato paste with hidden sugars. Pumpkin leaves are low carb but can contribute to total carbs in very large quantities.
