Miyan Gyada
Groundnut Soup with Beef
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no fufu, tuwo shinkafa (rice swallow), or other starchy accompaniments are served. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Nigerian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A creamy and flavorful groundnut (peanut) soup, common in Northern Nigeria, thickened naturally by blended peanuts. This hearty version includes tender beef chunks, offering a rich and satisfying meal. Distinct from Miyan Daushe which incorporates spinach.
Key ingredients
Roasted groundnuts (peanuts), beef, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, habanero peppers, palm oil or groundnut oil, seasoning cubes, salt, (optional: sorrel leaves or other greens, but keep minimal for focus on groundnut).
How to make it keto
Ensure no fufu, tuwo shinkafa (rice swallow), or other starchy accompaniments are served. Confirm no flour or other high-carb thickeners are added beyond the groundnuts themselves.
Watch out for
Groundnuts themselves contribute a moderate amount of carbs; portion control is important. Hidden sugars in seasoning cubes. Ensure no sugar is added to balance bitterness if using bitter groundnuts.
