Key ingredients
Grilled pork or chicken pieces, bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, garlic, paprika, cooking oil, spices. (Often served with bread).
If you order it anyway
Request 'bez hleba' (without bread). Ask if flour is used as a thickener (uncommon for authentic versions, but worth asking). Be mindful of the quantity of tomatoes and peppers.
If you order it anyway, say this (Serbian)
Leskovačku Mućkalicu, molim, bez hleba. Da li se koristi brašno za zgušnjavanje?
Leskovačka Mućkalica, please, without bread. Is there any flour used as a thickener?
Watch out for
Large quantities of bell peppers, tomatoes, and onions. Potential for a small amount of flour as a thickener in some restaurants. Hidden sugars in pre-made sauces (less likely for traditional Mućkalica but a general restaurant risk).
