It's a deeply flavorful and naturally high-fat dish, traditionally served without rice or bread for keto.

Optional tweaks
Ensure no lentils, chickpeas, or other carb-heavy legumes are included, as they are sometimes added in variants. Served strictly without bread or rice.
Watch out for
Excessive onion/garlic; hidden starches if thickened (ensure not present); served with rice/bread (ensure omission).
