Key ingredients
Shaved lamb (döner meat), roasted eggplant, tomato paste, canned diced tomatoes, garlic, butter, yogurt (plain, full-fat), salt, pepper, olive oil.
How to make it keto
Emphasize 'ekmeksiz' (no bread) and specifically request roasted eggplant as the base. Confirm no sugar in the tomato sauce. Be aware of portion sizes for tomato sauce and eggplant, which contribute to total carbs.
Watch out for
Sugar in the tomato sauce, marinades for the döner meat (less common for Iskender style), hidden starches in the yogurt (unlikely for full-fat plain).
