How to make it keto
Request *only the filling*, served in a bowl or with a side of lettuce wraps. Ensure no flour, rice, or other starchy binders are added to the meat mixture. Confirm it is the meat and herb filling, not the pumpkin (balqabaq) variant.
Watch out for
The dish is traditionally defined by its flatbread, which must be completely omitted. Ensure the filling itself does not contain any starchy binders or hidden sugars. Pumpkin filling is very high in carbs.
