How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure only a very small, token amount of pigeon peas is used (e.g., 1-2 tablespoons per serving). Confirm keto-friendly binders like almond flour or egg are used, not wheat flour. Ensure pan-seared, not deep-fried in high-carb batter.
Watch out for
High quantities of pigeon peas. Use of wheat flour or breadcrumbs as binder. Deep-frying in starchy batter. Hidden sugars.
