How to make it keto
Explicitly request the 'draniki' be made with cabbage (or cauliflower) instead of potato. Ensure no flour binder is used, or only a minimal amount of a keto-friendly alternative (e.g., almond flour). Confirm cooking oil is suitable (lard, butter, or olive oil).
Say this to the waiter (Russian)
Дранікі, пожалуйста, из капусты или цветной капусты, не из картофеля. Без муки или с минимальным количеством кето-муки.
For Дранікі, please use cabbage or cauliflower instead of potato. No flour or only minimal keto-friendly flour. Use suitable oil.
Watch out for
Potato substitution not properly executed, use of wheat flour as a binder, hidden sugars in sour cream or condiments.
