Kufta Bozbash (Keto Adapted)
Lamb Meatball Broth (No Rice, Chickpeas, Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm 'no rice' in the meatballs. About 7g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Azerbaijani dishes.
What it is
Large, flavorful meatballs made from ground lamb (traditionally with a sour plum inside), simmered in a rich broth with onions and saffron. The keto version omits the common additions of rice (within the meatball), chickpeas, and potatoes, focusing on the hearty meatballs and savory broth.
Key ingredients
Ground lamb, onion, salt, black pepper, dried sour plum (turşu albuxara) or prune (if without sugar), saffron, broth/water.
How to make it keto
Confirm 'no rice' in the meatballs. Explicitly request the omission of chickpeas and potatoes. Check if the sour plum/prune is unsweetened.
Watch out for
Rice is traditionally mixed into the meatballs and must be omitted. Chickpeas and potatoes are common additions to the broth and must be removed. Dried fruits can be high in sugar, so an unsweetened plum/prune should be specified or omitted.
