What it is
A quick and flavorful dish of thinly sliced lamb or beef liver, pan-fried on a 'tawa' (flat griddle) with onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and a robust blend of Afghan spices. It's a popular street food and home-style dish, naturally low-carb when served on its own.

Optional tweaks
Served without naan or rice.
Watch out for
Carbs from onions and tomatoes. Ensure no potato is used. Potential for hidden sugar in pre-made spice blends (unlikely for this dish).
