How to make it keto
The primary modification is substituting cracked wheat with riced or pureed cauliflower. Ensure no wheat is used. Request ample ghee for a rich flavor and texture.
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
هريس لحم، لو سمحت استبدلوا القمح المجروش بالقرنبيط المهروس أو المقطع ناعم. تأكدوا أنه بدون قمح نهائياً، ومع كمية وفيرة من السمنة.
For Harees Lahm, please use riced or pureed cauliflower instead of cracked wheat, and ensure no wheat is used. Add ample ghee.
Watch out for
Cross-contamination with wheat in the kitchen. Ensure only cauliflower is used as the base. Hidden sugars in pre-made broth (ask for plain or homemade).
