Palm Oil Steamed Okra with Fish Chunks
Steamed Okra Pods in Palm Oil Sauce with Smoked Fish
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no starchy thickeners. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Nigerian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Whole or chunky okra pods lightly steamed and then simmered in a rich palm oil sauce with pieces of smoked or dry fish, onions, and peppers. This differs from traditional okra soup by retaining the integrity of the okra pods and having a thicker, less soupy consistency.
Key ingredients
Fresh okra pods, smoked fish (e.g., mackerel, catfish), palm oil, onions, habanero peppers, crayfish powder, seasoning cubes, salt.
How to make it keto
Confirm no starchy thickeners. Ensure okra is steamed and not heavily processed to avoid high sliminess if preferred. Request moderate palm oil.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in seasoning cubes, excessive palm oil can add calories rapidly.
