How to make it keto
Crucially, request *no rice* in the meat filling. Confirm the filling is primarily meat, onions, and herbs. Ask for a sour cream (qatiq) side without any added sugar.
Watch out for
Rice is a standard ingredient in Dolma filling and must be strictly excluded. Tomato paste in the cooking liquid can contribute carbs if used in large quantities. Qatiq (yogurt) side dish might have hidden sugar if not pure.
