Kokošji Golaž (Keto)
Keto Chicken Goulash
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the goulash. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovenian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty chicken stew (goulash style) slow-cooked with a rich paprika-spiced sauce, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes, made keto by omitting traditional thickeners and starchy vegetables.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (e.g., thighs, drumsticks), onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, paprika, chicken broth, lard/oil, sour cream (optional), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the goulash. Confirm no potatoes, bread, or dumplings are added or served as a side. Request a side of non-starchy vegetables if desired.
Say this to the waiter (Slovenian)
Je golaž zgoščen brez moke ali škroba? Prosim, brez krompirja, kruha ali žgancev. Želim prilogo iz neškrobne zelenjave.
Is the goulash thickened without flour or starch? Please, no potatoes, bread, or dumplings. Can I have non-starchy vegetables as a side?
Watch out for
Flour/starch thickeners, default potato/noodle sides, high amounts of onion or bell pepper (manageable in keto portions).
