How to make it keto
Omit the bread base entirely. Ensure minimal or no pomegranate molasses (high sugar); request sumac and lemon juice for tartness instead. Confirm no added flour/thickeners to meat mixture.
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
السفيحة، لو سمحت بدون خبز تماماً. دبس رمان قليل أو بدون، حطوا سماق وليمون للحموضة. وتأكدوا ما في طحين بخليط اللحمة.
For the Sfeeha, please omit the bread base. Use minimal or no pomegranate molasses; use sumac and lemon for tartness. No flour in the meat.
