How to make it keto
Crucially, request 'no breadcrumbs' (bez khliba) in the patty mixture. Also, ensure no starchy side dishes are served, or ask for keto-friendly alternatives like a side salad or steamed greens.
Watch out for
Bread (usually stale white bread soaked in milk) is a standard binder in traditional kotlety. Mashed potatoes or other carb-heavy sides are often served.
