Key ingredients
Lamb, beef, spices (cumin, paprika), cooking oil, tomato paste, butter, salt, pepper, plain yogurt.
How to make it keto
Absolutely critical to omit the "pide" (pita bread) base. Request "ekmeksiz". Ask if the tomato sauce has added sugar and request minimal or no sugar if possible. Ensure yogurt is unsweetened.
Watch out for
The tomato sauce is often sweetened. The dish's original form is built on bread. Yogurt can be sweetened. Tomatoes contribute carbs.
