How to make it keto
Crucially, request cauliflower rice instead of regular rice for the stuffing. Ensure no other high-carb vegetables (like potatoes or carrots) are used in the stuffing or broth.
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
لو سمحت، بدي رز قرنبيط للحشوة بدل الرز العادي. وتأكد ما فيه بطاطا أو جزر بالحشوة أو بالمرقة.
Please ensure cauliflower rice is used for stuffing, not regular rice. No potatoes or carrots in the stuffing or broth.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in tomato paste, natural carbs in vegetables, potential cross-contamination with regular rice if not specified.
