How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Must specify 'sin apanar' (without breading). Request no flour or cornstarch in any accompanying sauce. Served with a side of mixed greens or grilled low-carb vegetables instead of traditional fries or rice.
Watch out for
The traditional preparation involves breading, which is high in carbs and MUST be omitted. Any sauces or marinades could contain hidden sugars or thickeners. High-carb side dishes are common and must be explicitly avoided.
