How to make it keto
Explicitly request no bread (lavash), no rice, no bulgur. Confirm no sugar in the small amount of tomato paste used in the kebab mix or as a garnish.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in red pepper paste or marinade, large portions of onions/tomatoes (especially in accompanying salad if served), some restaurants might add breadcrumbs to the kebab mix (less common for Adana but possible).
