What it is
A deeply flavorful beef bone broth, slow-cooked with traditional Sri Lankan spices like ginger, garlic, turmeric, cinnamon, and curry leaves. Modified to exclude high-carb root vegetables commonly found in stews and soups, focusing on the nutrient-rich broth and tender beef, often served with a minimal amount of low-carb greens.
Key ingredients
Beef marrow bones, water, ginger, garlic, curry leaves, turmeric powder, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, black pepper, salt, coconut oil (optional, for tempering spices).
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no high-carb vegetables (e.g., carrots, potatoes) are added. If any vegetables are included, they must be strictly low-carb (e.g., a few spinach leaves).
