How to make it keto
Strictly omit the lepinja (flatbread) which is a standard accompaniment. Request extra onions and a side of ajvar (confirm it's low sugar) or kajmak.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Keto Ćevape molim bez lepinje. Mogu li dobiti više luka i ajvar (da je bez šećera) ili kajmak sa strane?
I'd like the Keto Ćevapi without lepinja. Can I have extra onions and low-sugar ajvar or kajmak on the side?
Watch out for
Lepinja (bread), potential hidden fillers in the meat mixture (though less common in authentic recipes), sugar in ajvar. Always ask for no bread and low-sugar ajvar.
