Keto Deruny (Cauliflower Pancakes)
Keto Cauliflower Fritters with Sour Cream
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request cauliflower-based deruny, ensuring no potato is used. About 6g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Ukrainian dishes.
What it is
A clever keto-friendly adaptation of traditional Ukrainian potato pancakes. These savory fritters are crafted from grated cauliflower, bound with eggs and a minimal amount of almond flour, then pan-fried until golden and crispy. Served with a generous dollop of sour cream.
Key ingredients
Cauliflower, egg, finely grated onion, small amount of almond flour, salt, black pepper, cooking oil (e.g., butter, sunflower oil, or lard) for frying, sour cream for serving.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request cauliflower-based deruny, ensuring no potato is used. Confirm almond or coconut flour is used as a binder, and absolutely no wheat flour. Ask for extra sour cream on the side.
Watch out for
The original dish is entirely potato-based. Ensure the restaurant uses only keto-approved flour substitutes for binding. Some establishments might use a small amount of regular flour even if they claim 'keto' modifications.
