Daging Masak Lemak Cili Api
Beef in Spicy Coconut Gravy
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no potatoes or carrots are added. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Malaysian food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Beef chunks, coconut milk, bird's eye chilies (cili api), turmeric, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, shallots (minimal), cooking oil.
