How to make it keto
Explicitly omit 'lepinja' (bread) and 'ajvar'. Request extra 'kajmak' or sour cream as an alternative condiment.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Ćevape bih bez lepinje i ajvara. Može li dodatni kajmak ili pavlaka umesto toga?
I'd like the Ćevapi without lepinja or ajvar. Can I get extra kajmak or sour cream instead?
Watch out for
Lepinja' (bread) and 'ajvar' (contains sugar and high-carb vegetables) are standard accompaniments. Excessive raw onions can add minor carbs.
