What it is
Tender pieces of lamb (or beef/chicken) stir-fried on a traditional 'saj' (convex metal griddle) with a mix of onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. The dish is rich in flavor from the meat and fresh vegetables, cooked generously in oil.
Key ingredients
Lamb chunks, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, olive oil/butter, salt, black pepper, herbs (cilantro, dill).
If you order it anyway
Ensure no potatoes are added; explicitly request to omit them. Ask for extra olive oil or butter for cooking to increase fat content if desired.
Watch out for
Onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers contain natural sugars; a large restaurant portion of these can accumulate carbs. Potential for hidden sugars in marinades or pre-made sauces (though less common for this dish).
