Assorted meats (beef, tripe, cowhide), pumpkin leaves (ugu or similar green), groundnut paste, palm oil, onions, bell peppers, habanero peppers, crayfish, smoked fish, iru (locust beans), salt, seasoning cubes.
How to make it keto
Ensure no cocoyam, corn flour, or starchy pumpkin puree is used as a thickener. Confirm absence of added sugars in seasoning cubes or groundnut paste.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in seasoning cubes, excess groundnut paste (naturally carby but can be high if overused), restaurant tendency to add a touch of flour or cornstarch as a thickener.
