قلاية بندورة (Galayet Bandora)
Tomato and Onion Skillet (Vegetarian)
Yes, with a tweak: request no bread or pita. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Palestinian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A simple yet flavorful skillet dish of fresh diced tomatoes simmered with sautéed onions, garlic, and green chilies (optional). Often served as a side or a vegetarian main, it's naturally keto, especially if meat is added, and served without bread.
Key ingredients
Tomatoes, onions, garlic, olive oil, green chili (optional), salt, pepper, parsley.
How to make it keto
Request no bread or pita. If ordering as a main, consider asking for added ground meat to boost protein and fat. Confirm no hidden sugar in the tomato sauce.
