How to make it keto
Crucially, replace the traditional pita bread base with 'karnabahar pirinç' (cauliflower rice) or extra grilled vegetables. Ensure tomato sauce is 'şekersiz' (sugar-free). Ask for plain, full-fat yogurt.
Watch out for
The defining carb of Iskender Kebab is the pita bread. Tomato sauce is a very high risk for hidden sugars. Yogurt might be low-fat or sweetened. Döner meat itself can sometimes contain fillers, so ask about ingredients if possible.
