Keto Bozghorme (Goat/Lamb & Kashk Stew)
Keto Goat/Lamb & Kashk Stew (No Chickpeas)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no chickpeas are added. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Iranian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and hearty regional Iranian stew featuring tender pieces of slow-cooked goat or lamb meat, flavored with onions, garlic, turmeric, and thickened with creamy kashk (fermented whey). This keto version omits the traditional chickpeas.
Key ingredients
Goat or lamb meat, onions, garlic, kashk, turmeric, salt, black pepper, cooking oil (e.g., clarified butter, olive oil).
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no chickpeas are added. Confirm no flour is used as a thickener (kashk typically thickens it sufficiently). Request no bread or rice on the side.
Say this to the waiter (Persian)
