Keto Trahana (me Lulelakër dhe Djathë)
Cauliflower and Cheese Porridge (Trahana Style)
Yes, with a tweak: mUST specify cauliflower base instead of traditional trahana. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Albanian food, so watch the portion.

Key ingredients
Cauliflower, butter, olive oil, chicken or beef broth, feta cheese, gjizë (Albanian cottage cheese), salt, black pepper.

Trahananë Keto e dua me bazë lulelakre, jo trahana tradicionale. A mund të konfirmoni që nuk përdoret miell apo niseshte tjetër për trashje?
I need the Keto Trahana with a cauliflower base, not traditional trahana. Please confirm no flour or other starches for thickening.
