How to make it keto
Omit rice. Confirm no added sugar in the gravy. Okra, while present, is usually in small enough quantities to be negligible for keto if the overall dish is large, but can be omitted if highly carb-sensitive.

Traditionally served with rice. Some recipes might include a small amount of sugar. Okra contributes minimal carbs.
