Key ingredients
Palm fruit concentrate, grilled fish (e.g., Tilapia, Croaker) or assorted grilled meats, onions, peppers, crayfish, seasoning cubes, salt.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no fufu, garri, rice, or any other starchy side is served. Request the stew to be prepared without added thickeners or sugars.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in seasoning cubes. Palm fruit concentrate itself is naturally low carb but ensure no added sugars during processing.
