What it is
A unique Northern Nigerian soup featuring unripe green papaya, which is utilized as a vegetable, simmered with tender beef chunks, a spicy blend of peppers, onions, and enriched with flavorful palm oil. This soup is prepared without any starchy thickeners, highlighting the subtle flavors of the green papaya and beef.
Key ingredients
Green papaya (unripe), beef chunks, palm oil, onions, bell peppers, habanero peppers, crayfish powder, seasoning cubes (keto-friendly if available), salt.
If you order it anyway
Ensure only unripe (green) papaya is used, not ripe fruit. Explicitly request no starch thickeners. Confirm no sugar in seasoning cubes or added during preparation.
Watch out for
Onions, bell peppers, and green papaya contribute to carbs (though unripe papaya is significantly lower in sugar than ripe). Potential for hidden starches or sugars if not specified.
