How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure the filling contains no rice or breadcrumbs. Confirm no sugar is added to the tomato-based sauce, if any. Request omission of starchy side dishes.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Molim vas, potvrdite da punjenje nema pirinač ni prezle. Ako ima paradajz sosa, da nema dodatih šećera. Bez skrobnih priloga, molim vas.
Please confirm the filling has no rice or breadcrumbs. If there's a tomato sauce, ensure no added sugar. No starchy side dishes, please.
Watch out for
