Keto Makloubet Dajaj
Chicken and Cauliflower Rice 'Upside-Down' Dish
Yes, with a tweak: replace white rice with cauliflower rice entirely. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Jordanian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A savory 'upside-down' layered dish where spiced chicken, fried vegetables (typically cauliflower and eggplant), and cauliflower rice are cooked together in a pot and then inverted onto a serving platter. A hearty, flavorful main course reimagined for keto by replacing traditional white rice and potatoes.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (thighs or drumsticks)
