What To Serve With Chicken Curry Recipes?
Many side dishes go well with this healthy chicken curry, such as cauliflower rice, noodles, or a flavorful broccoli salad. You can also serve it with roasted vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, low-carb bread, wraps, or buns. The key is to choose low-carb options that complement the flavors of the curry.
How to Make Curry Powder?
Curry powder is a blend of spices that varies depending on the region and the recipe. Typically, it includes cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, and chili powder. You can make your curry powder by mixing these spices in the desired ratio and grinding them into a fine powder. Alternatively, you can buy pre-made curry powder from the store.
Can I use Garam Masala for this Low Carb Chicken?
Garam masala is a spice blend that is commonly used in Indian cuisine. It includes spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg. While it is not the same as curry powder, it can be used as a substitute in low-carb chicken curry recipes. However, it may have a slightly different flavor profile than traditional curry powder.
Can I Use Chicken Thighs?
Chicken thighs are an excellent option for chicken curry as they are tender and flavorful. They also have a higher fat content than chicken breasts, which makes them perfect for keto meals. In our curry recipe, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or bone-in chicken thighs.
Coconut Milk or Coconut Cream for Keto Curry?
This keto chicken curry recipe can use coconut milk and coconut cream. Coconut cream has a higher fat content and a thicker consistency than coconut milk, which can make the curry creamier and richer. However, it also has a higher calorie count, so coconut milk may be a better option if you are watching your calorie intake.
I have used a mixture of both to give me creaminess with a bit of lower calories.
