Keto Sayadiyah (Fish with Cauliflower Rice)
Spiced Fish with Cauliflower Rice
Yes, with a tweak: substitute traditional rice with cauliflower rice. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Qatari food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A flavorful and aromatic dish featuring pan-fried or baked white fish (such as Hammour) infused with caramelized onions and warming spices, served over a bed of fluffy cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice.
Key ingredients
White fish fillets (e.g., Hammour), onions, olive oil, fish broth, spices (cumin, coriander, turmeric, black pepper), cauliflower, lemon.
How to make it keto
Crucially, substitute traditional rice with cauliflower rice. Request limited caramelized onions as excessive caramelization can increase sugar content. Confirm no flour or sugar is used in the sauce.
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
من فضلك، حضّر الصيادية بأرز القرنبيط. استخدم قليل جداً من البصل المكرمل وتأكد أن الصلصة خالية من الطحين والسكر.
Please make the Sayadiyah with cauliflower rice. Use very little caramelized onion, and confirm no flour or sugar in the sauce.
Watch out for
Over-caramelized onions, hidden sugars or thickeners in the sauce, non-keto side dishes if not explicitly requested.
