Zucchini offers a similar texture with fewer calories.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining a creamy texture.

shrimp

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is a cost-effective protein alternative.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is less expensive and still provides a neutral flavor.

Wash and clean the goat head and feet, removing unnecessary parts.

Season the meat with salt, crushed garlic, black pepper, hot pepper, and soy sauce. Mix well and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.

Fry the marinated meat in a frying pan for approximately 5 minutes to cook it slightly.

Wash 2 cups of split peas to remove dust before cooking.

Add 2 cups of split peas and 4 cups of water into an electric pressure cooker.

Add a hot pepper and 1 medium onion (chopped or cut into large pieces) to the pot.

Season with salt and turmeric powder, and add some crushed garlic (careful not to add too much since garlic was already used).

Add the goat head and feet to the pot.

Set the electric pressure cooker to soup mode for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, check the Multani to ensure the meat and split peas are cooked.

Add dambrun to the cooked Multani for flavor, and adjust spiciness with more pepper if desired.

Garnish with green onion before serving.
