What it is
Tender chicken pieces slowly stewed in a rich, thick, and aromatic sauce made from finely ground walnuts and subtly flavored with minimal, sugar-free or very low-sugar pomegranate molasses, creating a unique sweet and sour profile. This version is prepared with no added sugars to maintain keto-friendliness.
Key ingredients
Chicken (thighs or drumsticks), walnuts, onion, pomegranate molasses (sugar-free or minimal amount), olive oil, salt, pepper.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, ask for the fisinjan to be prepared with very little or no added sugar in the pomegranate molasses/sauce. Confirm no rice is served alongside. Request extra healthy fats like olive oil if desired.
Watch out for
Pomegranate molasses is naturally high in sugar; most restaurant versions add more sugar. Omission of rice, which is typically served with fisinjan, is essential.
