Lamb chunks, onions, pomegranate molasses (minimal or omitted), fresh pomegranate seeds (minimal garnish), butter or oil, salt, pepper, traditional spices.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request very minimal or no pomegranate molasses, as it is high in sugar. Opt for just a few fresh pomegranate seeds as a garnish, or omit entirely. Ensure no starchy thickeners.
Watch out for
Pomegranate molasses is very high in sugar; fresh pomegranate seeds can add carbs if used excessively. Often served with rice, which must be omitted.
