Few things to keep in mind

• Water/Vegetable Stock: If you have vegetable stock available, then please go ahead and use that in the recipe. If not, then water can be used. You can check this recipe for the process of making vegetable stock.
• Cream: If you are following a keto diet strictly, then use heavy cream with a fat content of 35-40%. I have made this with 25% fat content fresh cream and it has come out well.
