How to make it keto
Explicitly request 'sa karfiolom' (with cauliflower) instead of 'pirinač' (rice). Confirm no flour or other starches are used for thickening. Small amounts of white wine are generally acceptable as alcohol and most carbs evaporate during cooking.
Watch out for
The primary risk is regular rice. Ensure the restaurant uses riced cauliflower. Small amounts of onion and white wine contribute minimal carbs.
