What it is

While potatoes are often included in the traditional version, it is essential to specifically request this dish *without potatoes* for a keto approach, focusing on the rich flavors of the meat and low-carb vegetables.
Key ingredients
Lamb chunks, onion, bell pepper, tomato, eggplant, butter/cooking oil, salt, black pepper, fresh herbs.
How to make it keto
Absolutely essential to specify 'kartofsuz' (without potatoes). Request extra low-carb vegetables such as eggplant, bell peppers, or tomatoes. Ensure no rice or bread is served as a side.
Watch out for
