Why it works
- Celiac disease: The kofta and yogurt dip use no grains or gluten-containing sauces.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
