How to make it keto
Absolutely critical: OMIT THE PITA BREAD. Ask if they can serve it in a bowl or plate as 'just the meat, sauce, and yogurt.' Confirm no sugar in the tomato sauce.
Watch out for
The pita bread is fundamental; omitting it is a major modification. Tomato sauce often contains sugar. Sometimes served with a side of rice.
