Keto Mutton Biryani (with Cauliflower Rice)
Keto Spiced Lamb/Goat with Cauliflower Rice
Yes, with a tweak: ensure it is made with cauliflower rice only, not regular rice. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Pakistani food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-friendly interpretation of the classic biryani, featuring tender pieces of mutton (lamb or goat) cooked in a rich, aromatic blend of whole and ground spices, yogurt, and fried onions. Instead of traditional rice, it's layered with seasoned cauliflower rice to create a flavorful, low-carb meal.
Key ingredients
Mutton (lamb/goat), cauliflower rice, ghee/oil, onions, tomatoes (minimal), ginger, garlic, green chilies, yogurt, biryani spice mix (cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaf, star anise, mace, nutmeg, black pepper, cumin), mint, cilantro.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure it is made with cauliflower rice only, not regular rice. Confirm no potatoes or high-carb vegetables are included. Ask for minimal fried onions (as frying can add carbs/calories) and no sugar.
Watch out for
Any actual rice mixed in, excessive fried onions, higher carb from cauliflower rice in large portions, hidden sugar in spice mixes or marinade, potatoes.
