Lülyə Kabab
Minced Lamb & Beef Kebab (without bread/rice)
Yes, with a tweak: clearly state 'çörəksiz' (without bread) and 'düyüsüz' (without rice). About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Azerbaijani dishes.
What it is
Flavorful minced lamb and beef, seasoned with onions, garlic, and traditional spices, expertly grilled on skewers. Served traditionally with lavash and rice, but for keto, request it with a side of grilled vegetables (like tomatoes, peppers) or a simple salad, omitting all bread and rice.
Key ingredients
Ground lamb, ground beef, onions, salt, pepper, sumac (for garnish), vegetable oil (for grilling).
How to make it keto
Clearly state 'çörəksiz' (without bread) and 'düyüsüz' (without rice). Ask for grilled vegetables or salad as a side.
Say this to the waiter (Azerbaijani)
Lülyə Kababı ləvəşsiz istəyirəm. Zəhmət olmasa, çörək və ya düyü əvəzinə qızardılmış tərəvəzlə (bibər, soğan, pomidor) və ya təzə salatla verin.
I'd like the Lülyə Kabab without lavash. Please serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad instead of bread or rice.
Watch out for
Marinades might contain tiny amounts of sugar (uncommon for lülyə but possible for other kebabs); cross-contamination with bread/rice if not careful.
