How to make it keto
Ask to omit rice (pilav), bulgur, and bread (lavaş/ekmek). Verify no starchy fillers like breadcrumbs in the kebab mix (uncommon for authentic Adana but worth confirming).
Watch out for
Kebab mix might occasionally contain breadcrumbs or flour as a binder; potential for sugary salad dressing; large amount of onion in the salad.
