What it is
A creamy, rich chicken stew that is distinctly white or light in color, signifying the absence of a tomato base. It's typically prepared with coconut cream or fresh cream, slow-cooked with tender chicken pieces, onions, garlic, ginger, and green chilies, offering a milder yet flavorful profile.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (e.g., thighs/drumsticks), coconut cream or heavy cream, cooking oil, onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies, salt, black pepper, curry powder (optional).
If you order it anyway
Strictly ensure no flour or cornstarch is used for thickening. Confirm no high-carb vegetables like potatoes or carrots are added. Request a coconut cream or fresh cream base.
Watch out for
Flour/starch thickeners, high-carb vegetables (carrots, potatoes, peas), hidden sugars in pre-made curry pastes.
