How to make it keto
Absolutely essential to omit any potato, rice, or bread sides. Request a simple green salad with olive oil and lemon or steamed non-starchy vegetables as sides.
Say this to the waiter (Armenian)
Իշխանի հետ խնդրում եմ կարտոֆիլ, բրինձ կամ հացի խավարտներ չմատուցել։ Կարո՞ղ եք տալ պարզ կանաչ աղցան ձիթապտղի յուղով և կիտրոնով, կամ շոգեխաշած ոչ օսլայով բանջարեղեն։
For the Ishkhan, please no potato, rice, or bread sides. Can I have a simple green salad with olive oil and lemon, or steamed non-starchy vegetables?
Watch out for
Potato or rice sides; sugary glaze if baked; high-carb vegetable medley served as a side.
