Wali wa Kabeji na Nyama (Keto Modified)
Keto Cabbage Rice with Spiced Beef
Yes, with a tweak: confirm shredded cabbage is the sole 'rice' component; no actual rice, potatoes, or other high-carb fillers. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kenyan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Finely shredded cabbage, cooked to mimic rice texture, mixed with tender spiced beef pieces (or minced beef), onions, garlic, ginger, and a blend of aromatic spices. This is a savory, hearty keto alternative to traditional pilau or rice dishes.
Key ingredients
Cabbage (shredded), beef (cubed or minced), cooking oil, red onion, garlic, ginger, green chilies, tomatoes (minimal), turmeric, cumin, garam masala, salt, fresh coriander.
How to make it keto

Watch out for
