What it is
Marinated lamb, typically chops or shoulder cuts, grilled to smoky perfection. For a keto version, the lamb is prepared with a sugar-free marinade and served with a simple low-carb dipping sauce or plain, explicitly omitting any high-carb sides like rice or potatoes.
Key ingredients
Lamb chops/shoulder, marinade (garlic, ginger, turmeric, salt, black pepper, cooking oil, minimal lime juice). Dipping sauce (bird's eye chilies, lime juice, fish sauce, erythritol/stevia if needed).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no sugar in the marinade. Ensure any dipping sauce is made without sugar. Request no carb sides such as fries, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Say this to the waiter (Malay)
