Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams Psyllium husk
- 30 grams Coconut flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 500 milliliters Water
Instructions
Pour 500 milliliters of water into a medium-sized saucepan and add 0.25 teaspoons of salt.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a boiling point, reduce the heat to low.
Gradually add 50 grams of psyllium husk to the boiling water, stirring continuously with a wooden spatula to prevent lumps.
Once the psyllium husk is fully incorporated, add 30 grams of coconut flour and continue stirring.
Keep stirring the mixture continuously until it thickens to resemble the texture of traditional Eba, ensuring there are no lumps.
Cook the mixture on low heat for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once the desired consistency is reached, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Transfer the low-carb Eba onto a clean flat surface or a tray lined with plastic wrap.
Use a spatula or your hands (be careful of the heat) to mold and shape the Eba into a smooth mound.
Serve immediately with your choice of Nigerian soups or stews.
