Laham bil Laban (Keto-Modified)
Lamb Stew in Spiced Yogurt Sauce (Keto-Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the yogurt sauce is not thickened with any flour or starch. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Qatari food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender pieces of lamb slow-cooked in a tangy, aromatic full-fat yogurt sauce, infused with a blend of traditional Gulf spices. This hearty stew is traditionally served with rice, but for keto, it is presented as a rich, saucy main course without any carb accompaniment.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder/shank, full-fat unsweetened yogurt, garlic, onion (small amount), fresh mint, Qatari baharat (spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, cardamom), ghee or olive oil, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure the yogurt sauce is not thickened with any flour or starch. Confirm no added sugars in the yogurt or spice blend. Served without rice, bread, or any other carb-heavy side.
Watch out for
Hidden starches or flour used as a thickening agent in the yogurt sauce. Some restaurants might add a small amount of sugar to balance the tanginess of the yogurt. Onion and garlic contribute minimal carbs.
