How to make it keto

Say this to the waiter (German)
Ist die Gulaschsoße ohne Mehl/Stärke und ungesüßt? Bitte keine Nudeln oder Knödel. Gerne extra Fleisch/Soße oder grünes Gemüse.
Please confirm the Gulasch sauce is not thickened with flour/starch and has no added sugar. Omit Nudeln or Knödel. Extra meat/sauce or green vegetables, please.
Watch out for
Flour/starch thickeners in the sauce. Hidden sugars in tomato paste or pre-made broths/sauces. Onions and bell peppers, while keto-friendly in moderation, can add up in large restaurant portions.
