Paya
Trotters Stew
Yes, with a tweak: generally naturally keto. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Pakistani food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich, gelatinous, and highly nutritious stew made from goat or lamb trotters (feet). Slow-cooked with spices, it produces a thick, hearty broth full of collagen.
Key ingredients
Goat/Lamb trotters, onions (sometimes for base), ginger, garlic, turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, whole spices, cooking oil (ghee/oil), salt, water.
How to make it keto
Generally naturally keto. Confirm no added flour/thickener (rare for Paya but good to check). Ensure no hidden sugars.
Watch out for
Onions used in the base, and a small potential for hidden sugar if a restaurant deviates from tradition.
