Keto Ghaboot Samak
Fish and Vegetable Stew with Cauliflower Dumplings
Yes, with a tweak: request no traditional dough dumplings. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Qatari food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and hearty Qatari fish and vegetable stew, traditionally featuring dough dumplings. The keto version substitutes these with steamed cauliflower florets or cauliflower 'dumplings' to absorb the flavorful sauce.
Key ingredients
White fish (e.g., Hammour, Kingfish), mixed non-starchy vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers, spinach), tomatoes, onions, garlic, Qatari spices (loomi, turmeric, coriander, cumin), olive oil, cauliflower.
How to make it keto
Request no traditional dough dumplings. Ensure no potatoes, carrots, or other root vegetables are included. Ask for steamed cauliflower florets or riced cauliflower to be served with the stew.
Watch out for
Traditional dough, starchy vegetables (potatoes, carrots), hidden sugars in tomato paste/sauce.
