    That's where you are wrong dear low carber, This Eggplant swallow aka low carb / keto Amala will definitely blow your mind like it did mine. Before giving this recipe a go I was skeptical because I just couldn't understand how some psyllium husk thingy would bring some veggie together. When I tried it myself I have never looked back.

    Low Carb Eggplant Swallow

    I shared the recipe back then at My Diaspora Kitchen. The method I shared has since been updated to this one in my kitchen but not on the blog because I was saving that for this blog, for YOU. You can check that method here if you prefer. But the method i would be sharing here today, is one I have found to be less cumbersome so I would encourage you to give this a try.

    Notes

    * When using Recipes with psyllium husks in it it is advise you drink a lot of water because Psyllium is an absorbent fibre and absorbs water as it moves through the digestive tract, if one doesn't take enough water it may clump up together in the intestine and cause intestinal blockage or severe constpation.

      […] a oil free Ogbono like most Nigerian soups happens to be keto/ low carb friendly. Just grab your Keto Amala, or cauliflower fufu and you are good to go. That’s awesome […]
