Qovurma (Qurudulmuş Meyvəsiz)
Fried Lamb/Beef with Onions (No Dried Fruit)

How to make it keto

Say this to the waiter (Azerbaijani)
Qovurmanı zəhmət olmasa, quru ərik, alça və şabalıd olmadan hazırlayın. Yalnız ət və soğan istəyirəm.
For the Qovurma, please ensure no dried apricots, plums, or chestnuts are added. I'd like just the meat and onions.
Watch out for
Caramelized onions contribute a moderate amount of carbs due to their sugar content. Some restaurants might use a touch of sugar to aid caramelization.
