Samaki wa Chumvi na Kabeji Karanga
Salted Fish with Sautéed Cabbage
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour-based thickeners or sugary sauces are used for the cabbage. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kenyan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A flavorful and satisfying Kenyan dish combining rehydrated and pan-fried salted fish with a side of lightly sautéed cabbage. The salty, umami notes of the fish perfectly complement the fresh, slightly sweet crunch of the cabbage, cooked with onions and tomatoes.
Key ingredients
Salted fish (e.g., Tilapia, rehydrated and filleted), fresh cabbage, red onions, ripe tomatoes, cooking oil, garlic, ginger, salt (minimal additional), black pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour-based thickeners or sugary sauces are used for the cabbage. Request minimal tomatoes and onions in the cabbage to reduce carb count.
Watch out for
Large amounts of tomatoes/onions in the cabbage, hidden sugars in sauces or seasonings.
