Gom Mas Diwa Kari
Beef Tongue Curry
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no sugar or thickeners are added. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Sri Lankan food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Beef tongue, coconut milk (thick and thin), coconut oil, onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies, curry leaves, rampe (pandan leaf), mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, roasted curry powder, chili powder, turmeric powder, black pepper, salt, lime juice.
How to make it keto
