What it is

Veal meat (bone-in or boneless), salt, black pepper, chili (optional), cooking oil (for basting).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugary marinades are used. Request plain grilled veal, served without carb-heavy sides.
Watch out for
Restaurant marinades or basting sauces may contain sugar; often served with high-carb sides like ugali, kachumbari (heavy tomatoes/onions), or fries – must be omitted.
