How to make it keto
Ensure no bread (taboon) is served. Request extra olive oil for fat content.
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
دجاج مسخن، لو سمحت، بدون خبز طابون. وممكن زيت زيتون إضافي؟
For the Dajaj Msakhan, please serve it without bread (taboon). And can I have extra olive oil?
Watch out for
Large quantities of caramelized onions can add some carbs; some restaurants might use a pinch of sugar to aid caramelization (uncommon for authentic Msakhan).
