Lamb or chicken chunks, olive oil, yogurt (for marinade), onion, garlic, tomato paste (small amount), salt, black pepper, oregano, cumin, grilled bell peppers, grilled zucchini.
How to make it keto
Request no bread (lavash/pide) or bulgur pilaf. Ask for a side of plain green salad (with dressing on the side) or grilled vegetables like eggplant, zucchini, or bell peppers. Confirm no added sugar in the marinade.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades (especially for chicken), large portions of tomato/onion based side salads, hidden potatoes in mixed grilled vegetable plates, creamy/sugary sauces.
