What it is
A robust and aromatic dry curry where tender chicken pieces are richly coated in a thick, intensely flavored spice paste that has been cooked down without excessive gravy. This specific preparation is modified to exclude high-carb ingredients like potatoes and added sugar.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (thigh/drumstick), curry powder/paste (check for no sugar/starch), coconut milk (full-fat), galangal, lemongrass, turmeric, chilli, garlic, shallots, kaffir lime leaves, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no potatoes, no added sugar, and no starch. Confirm curry paste ingredients if possible, or request a freshly made paste to ensure low carb compliance. Use full-fat coconut milk.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in pre-made curry pastes, shallots (higher carb onion), lemongrass (small amount), and other spices. Coconut milk contributes some carbs.
