What it is

A very traditional, hearty stew made from slow-cooked lamb's head and feet, resulting in an incredibly tender, gelatinous, and flavorful dish. It is deeply seasoned with garlic, ginger, and robust spices, yielding a rich, collagen-packed broth. Modified to be served without bread or rice for a keto diet.

Key ingredients

Lamb head, lamb feet, garlic, ginger, robust spices

How to make it keto

Strictly order without naan or any other bread/rice. Confirm that no potatoes or other starchy vegetables are added to the stew. Ask for minimal onions if highly carb conscious, as they contribute to the carb count.

Say this to the waiter (Dari)

لطفاً کله پاچه را بدون نان و برنج سرو کنید. مطمئن شوید که کچالو یا سایر سبزیجات نشایسته دار اضافه نشود. پیاز کمتر لطفا.
