BUTTER:
- We have to use butter, as it will provide a smooth flavor and nutritious fats. You can alternate it with ghee, coconut, or avocado oil.
CABBAGE:
- Cabbage is the main component in this meal, which is used to prepare this recipe. Replace it with thin slices of eggplant strips, zoodles, or shirataki noodles.
