Borjú Paprikás (Galuska Nélkül)
Veal Paprikash (Noodle-Free)
Yes, with a tweak: request 'galuska/nokedli nélkül' (without noodles/dumplings). About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Hungarian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Succulent veal cubes stewed in a creamy, rich sauce made with plenty of authentic Hungarian paprika, sautéed onions, and tangy sour cream. Served without the traditional egg noodles (galuska/nokedli).
Key ingredients
Veal, onion, Hungarian paprika, sour cream, lard/oil, garlic, bay leaf, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request 'galuska/nokedli nélkül' (without noodles/dumplings). Ask for a side of steamed low-carb vegetables (e.g., green beans, broccoli) if available, or just extra sauce.
