Balıq Ləvəngisi (Düyüsüz)
Baked Fish with Walnut and Onion Stuffing (No Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: request 'düyüsüz' (without rice) in the stuffing. About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A whole baked fish (often kutum or carp) stuffed with a rich, savory mixture of finely ground walnuts, onions, and sour plum paste. This keto version explicitly omits the traditional rice from the stuffing.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (e.g., kutum, carp), walnuts, onion, sour plum paste (minimal for flavor, confirm sugar-free), cooking oil, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request 'düyüsüz' (without rice) in the stuffing. Inquire about the sugar content of the sour plum paste; request minimal use or use of plain sour plum if possible to avoid added sugars.
Say this to the waiter (Azerbaijani)
Zəhmət olmasa, içliyi düyüsüz olsun. Turşu gavalı pastasında şəkər varmı? Onu az və ya sadə istifadə edə bilərsinizmi?
Please, 'düyüsüz' (without rice) stuffing. Is the sour plum paste sugar-free? Can you use minimal or plain sour plum?
Watch out for
Rice in the stuffing (must omit), high sugar content in sour plum paste (CRITICAL to confirm/modify), excessive onions in the stuffing.
