How to make it keto
Crucially, request 'bez lepinje' (without flatbread) and 'bez pomfrita' (without fries). Ask for extra raw onions and a side salad (oil/vinegar dressing) if available instead of traditional carb sides. Consume ajvar sparingly due to potential sugar content.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Ćevapi bez lepinje i pomfrita. Molim vas, dodatni crni luk i salata sa uljem i sirćetom.
Ćevapi without lepinja or fries. Can I have extra raw onions and a side salad with oil/vinegar?
