How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Request no potatoes. Ask for no added sugar in the curry. Confirm no flour or starch thickeners are used. Request to be served without rice or roti, perhaps with a side of plain green vegetables or cauli-rice if available.
Watch out for
Potatoes (very common inclusion), hidden sugar to balance acidity, flour/starch thickeners, high-carb traditional sides (rice, roti).
