Ulimi Fry
Fried Tongue
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no sugar is added to the tomato base. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kenyan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender beef or goat tongue, slow-cooked until soft, then cut into pieces and pan-fried with onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and a blend of aromatic spices until caramelized and flavorful.
Key ingredients
Beef/Goat tongue, cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, ghee), onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, fresh cilantro, salt, black pepper, various Kenyan spices (e.g., cumin, turmeric).
How to make it keto
Ensure no sugar is added to the tomato base. For strict keto, request minimal tomatoes and onions. Confirm it is served without any carb-heavy accompaniments.
Watch out for
Overuse of tomatoes and onions in the fry base; potential hidden sugar in restaurant preparations or spice mixes.
