Say this to the waiter (Georgian)
ქეთო ჩანახი უკარტოფილოდ, გთხოვთ. დამიდასტურეთ, რომ ფქვილი ან შაქარი არ არის. ცხიმის დამატება შეიძლება?
No potatoes in the Keto Chanakhi, please. Confirm no flour or sugar in the stew base. Can I get extra fat?
Watch out for
Potatoes are a traditional ingredient and MUST be omitted. Tomatoes, eggplant, and bell peppers contribute moderate carbs; ensure portions of these vegetables are reasonable. Some restaurants may use sugary tomato paste or thickeners.
