Optional tweaks
Naturally keto-friendly. Ensure no potatoes, carrots, or other starchy vegetables are added, and no thickening agents (like flour) are used. Served without rice or bread.
Watch out for
Potential for added starchy vegetables in some restaurant versions. Tomato paste/sauce can contain hidden sugars; confirm. Ensure no flour-based thickeners.
