Azərbaycan Kababları Platter
Azerbaijani Kebab Platter (without rice/lavash)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no lavash bread or rice. About 9g net carbs per serving, lower than 5 in 10 Azerbaijani dishes.
What it is
A selection of various grilled meats such as Lülə Kebab (minced lamb/beef), Tikə Kebab (lamb chunks), and Toyuq Kebab (chicken), seasoned and cooked over an open flame. Traditionally served with lavash bread or rice, but easily enjoyed keto by omitting these sides.
Key ingredients
Lamb, beef, chicken, onions, sumac, salt, pepper, various fresh herbs, olive oil (for grilling/brushing).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no lavash bread or rice. Ask for extra grilled onions, tomatoes (in moderation), or a simple side salad (oil and vinegar only, no sugary dressing).
Say this to the waiter (Azerbaijani)
Kabab platerini lavaşsız və düyüsüz istərdim. Əlavə qızardılmış soğan, bir az pomidor, ya da sadə salat (yalnız zeytun yağı və sirkə ilə) olar?
No lavash or rice with the kabab platter, please. Can I have extra grilled onions, a few tomatoes, or a simple side salad with oil and vinegar?
Watch out for
Marinades might contain sugar (less common for traditional kebabs but possible), grilled tomatoes and onions contribute carbs, sauces/dressings if served on the side.
