Ojakhuri (Keto Modified - No Potatoes)
Georgian Fried Pork/Chicken with Onions & Herbs (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request *no potatoes*. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Georgian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Traditionally, a hearty skillet dish of fried meat (pork or chicken) cooked with potatoes, onions, and fresh herbs. For keto, the potatoes are completely omitted, leaving a savory mix of tender meat, caramelized onions, and aromatic herbs.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder or chicken thigh, onion, garlic, bell pepper (optional), fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley), salt, pepper, oil for frying.
How to make it keto
Crucially, explicitly request *no potatoes*. Confirm with staff that no starch is used as a thickener in any accompanying sauce. Request additional non-starchy vegetables if available (e.g., mushrooms).
Say this to the waiter (Georgian)
გთხოვთ, ოჯახური კარტოფილის გარეშე. დამიდასტურეთ, რომ არცერთ სოუსში სახამებელი არ არის. შემიძლია თუ არა დამატებითი ბოსტნეული (მაგ. სოკო) მივიღო?
Please, no potatoes in the Ojakhuri. Confirm no starch thickeners in any sauce. Can I get extra non-starchy vegetables?
Watch out for
Potatoes are a core component of the traditional dish; complete omission is vital. Onions can contribute carbs in large restaurant portions. Hidden sugars in marinades.
