Low-Carb Cauliflower Fufu with Vegetable Stew

Cauliflower stands in for the usual starchy swallow here, blended and thickened with a little psyllium husk until it holds together well enough to eat by hand.

This swap is the whole point of the recipe's diabetes tag: traditional fufu is carbohydrate-dense, while cauliflower brings the same soft, scoopable texture with a fraction of the carbs and a good amount of fiber instead. The stew alongside it leans on lean protein and vegetables cooked down with turmeric and ginger, seasonings that show up here as part of a broader low-glycemic approach rather than as a fix for anything. Bell pepper and tomato add natural sweetness to the sauce without needing any added sugar.

Shape the fufu into balls while it's still warm and pliable, then serve it hot alongside the stew, scooping the way you would with any traditional swallow.
