How to make it keto
Explicitly request no provisions (potatoes, yams, cassava, dasheen) to be served with the dish. Ensure no flour or thickeners are used in any accompanying sauce. Request extra green seasoning for flavor.
Watch out for
Potential use of flour as a thickener in the serving broth/sauce. Hidden sugars in pre-made spice blends. Large portions of aromatics (onions, garlic) can add up.
