Pan-fried Pork Cutlet / Chop
Yes, with a tweak: ask for 'neapvolioti' or 'be džiūvėsėlių' (not breaded/without breadcrumbs). About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 5 in 10 Lithuanian dishes.

How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Ask for 'neapvolioti' or 'be džiūvėsėlių' (not breaded/without breadcrumbs). Request 'be bulvių' (without potatoes) and specify no high-carb sauces. Can request butter or oil for frying.
Say this to the waiter (Lithuanian)
Kiaulienos karbonadą prašau neapvolioti džiūvėsėliuose, be bulvių ir be angliavandenių turinčių padažų. Prašau kepti su sviestu ar aliejumi.
I'd like the Kiaulienos karbonadas unbreaded, without potatoes, and no high-carb sauces. Please cook it in butter or oil.
Watch out for
Almost always breaded (HIGH CARB). Always served with potatoes (HIGH CARB). Sauces can be flour-thickened or sugary. Vegetables served alongside might include carrots/peas (moderate carbs).
