How to make it keto
Crucially ensure no potatoes, rice, or mandioca are added. Limit carrots to a minimal amount for flavor, if used at all. Confirm no flour or starch is used for thickening and no hidden sugars.
Watch out for
High-carb vegetables (potatoes, excessive carrots), flour/starch thickeners in the sauce, and the traditional serving with high-carb side dishes.
