Keto Fattet Kastaleta Ghanam (Eggplant Base)
Keto Lamb Chop Fattah (Eggplant Base)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no bread is used. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Jordanian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A layered dish featuring grilled lamb chops over a base of roasted or fried eggplant, smothered in a creamy, garlicky tahini-yogurt sauce, and often topped with toasted pine nuts and fresh parsley. Traditionally uses bread, which is omitted for keto.
Key ingredients
Lamb chops, eggplant, full-fat yogurt, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, pine nuts, olive oil, parsley, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no bread is used. Request eggplant to be roasted or pan-fried rather than deep-fried to control oil type, or confirm use of keto-friendly oils if deep-fried. Confirm no hidden sugar in sauces.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in yogurt or tahini sauce. Excessive pine nuts can contribute to carb count. Eggplant absorbs a lot of oil when fried.
