Key ingredients
Whole fish (e.g., Kutum), walnuts, onion, sour plum paste (lavashana - check for sugar content), cooking oil, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Confirm NO RICE or breadcrumbs in the stuffing. Inquire about sugar content in lavashana; if high, request less or omit and use lemon juice for tartness. Focus on the fish and walnut-onion paste.
Watch out for
Rice/breadcrumbs in stuffing (common), sugar in plum paste (lavashana), often served with rice as a side.
