How to make it keto
Explicitly request 'düyüsüz' (without rice) for the filling. Confirm no sugar is added to the tomato paste or cooking liquid.
Say this to the waiter (Azerbaijani)
Dolmanı zəhmət olmasa düyüsüz hazırlayın. Pomidor pastasına və ya bişirmə suyuna şəkər qatılmadığını təsdiqləyin.
I'd like the Dolma without rice in the filling. Please confirm no sugar is added to the tomato paste or cooking liquid.
Watch out for
Rice is the defining traditional ingredient, so its omission is the primary modification. Tomatoes and onions in the filling contribute carbs. Ensure no sugary sauces or broths are used.
