Gom Mas Devilled
Devilled Beef (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: request the dish to be made without added sugar. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Sri Lankan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender beef pieces stir-fried with bell peppers, onions, and green chilies, coated in a spicy and tangy 'devilled' sauce. For keto, the traditional sugary sauce is replaced with a low-sugar alternative, focusing on the savory and spicy flavors.
Key ingredients
Beef chunks, coconut oil or vegetable oil, ginger-garlic paste, red onions, bell peppers (green/red), green chilies, chili flakes, tomato paste (small amount), soy sauce (or tamari), vinegar, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
