Keto Palaw (Meat & Vegetable Stir-fry with Cauliflower Rice)
Palaw-Style Meat & Vegetable with Cauliflower Rice
Yes, with a tweak: strictly replace traditional rice with cauliflower rice. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kazakhstani food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-friendly twist on the classic rice pilaf. This version features succulent chunks of meat (lamb or beef) stir-fried with fragrant onions and a very minimal amount of carrots, cooked in ample fat and aromatic spices, then served over a bed of fluffy cauliflower rice instead of traditional white rice.
Key ingredients
Lamb/beef, cooking oil/rendered fat, onion, very minimal carrot (optional), garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, cauliflower rice, fresh dill.
How to make it keto
Strictly replace traditional rice with cauliflower rice. Request very minimal carrots or omit them entirely. Ensure no added sugar in any marinades or cooking liquids.
Say this to the waiter (Kazakh)
Кето Палау, әдеттегі күріштің орнына түсті қырыққабат күрішін салыңыз. Сәбізді өте аз немесе мүлде қоспаңыз. Маринадтарда қант жоқ екенін растаңыз.
Keto Palaw, please. Cauliflower rice instead of regular rice. Very minimal or no carrots. No added sugar in marinades/liquids.
Watch out for
Traditional white rice is the main carb. Carrots are a standard ingredient and can accumulate carbs; insist on minimal usage or removal. Some restaurants might use sugary sauces or broths.
