Ayam Masak Tomato (Keto-Modified)
Chicken in Tomato Sauce (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: specify 'no sugar' for the sauce preparation. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Tender chicken pieces simmered in a savory and tangy tomato-based sauce, enriched with garlic, ginger, onions, and mild chilies. This keto version removes any added sugar common in tomato sauces and avoids thickeners like cornstarch, focusing on fresh tomatoes for flavor and a lighter consistency.
Key ingredients
Chicken (thighs or drumsticks), fresh tomatoes, garlic, ginger, onions, bird's eye chili (optional), soy sauce (keto-friendly), cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Specify 'no sugar' for the sauce preparation. Request minimal onion and no cornstarch for thickening.
Say this to the waiter (Malay)
