Paaye Gosfand
Keto-style Lamb Feet Stew (without Naan)
Yes, with a tweak: order strictly without any bread (naan) or rice. About 7g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Afghan dishes.
What it is
A deeply rich and gelatinous stew made from slow-cooked lamb feet, simmered for hours with aromatic spices, garlic, ginger, and a hint of green chilies. The long cooking process renders the meat incredibly tender and the broth exceptionally flavorful and collagen-rich. Traditionally served with naan, this version is modified to omit carb sides.
Key ingredients
Lamb feet, garlic, ginger, green chilies, aromatic spices
How to make it keto
