Keto Elu Mas Ukussa Soup
Keto Mutton Bone Broth
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes, carrots, or other root vegetables. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Sri Lankan dishes.
What it is
A nourishing and flavorful clear broth made from slow-simmered mutton bones, extracting rich collagen and marrow. Spiced with traditional Sri Lankan aromatics, it's a comforting and fat-rich starter or light meal. Explicitly prepared without any added starchy vegetables (like carrots or potatoes) or thickeners.
Key ingredients
Mutton bones (with marrow), water, onions, garlic, ginger, curry leaves, rampe (pandan leaf), black pepper, salt, turmeric (optional).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes, carrots, or other root vegetables. Ensure no thickeners or added sugar. Can be made richer by adding extra ghee or a dash of coconut cream (not coconut milk if aiming for clear broth).
