Ləvəngi (Şəkəri Azaldılmış)
Ləvəngi (Roasted Chicken/Fish with Walnut Stuffing - Sugar-Reduced)
Yes, with a tweak: request a version with *significantly reduced or sugar-free* sour plum paste in the stuffing. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Azerbaijani food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A whole chicken or fish (often Caspian Kutum) roasted with a rich and aromatic stuffing made from ground walnuts, onions, and sour plum paste (naturally high in sugar). Significant modification needed for keto due to the plum paste.
Key ingredients
Whole chicken or fish, walnuts, onions, (sugar-reduced/sugar-free) sour plum paste, salt, pepper, cooking oil/butter.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request a version with *significantly reduced or sugar-free* sour plum paste in the stuffing. If not possible, request a very small amount of stuffing. Confirm no rice is included in the stuffing or served on the side.
Watch out for
The sour plum paste (albu khara/turşu lavashana) is traditionally very high in natural and often added sugars. Onions and walnuts also contribute carbs. Always served with rice, which must be omitted. Confirm no breadcrumbs in stuffing.
