Chuchee Pla
Dry Red Curry Fish
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no added sugar in the curry paste or sauce. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Thai food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and aromatic fish curry with a thick, reduced red curry sauce, typically made with a firm white fish fillet. It's known for its creamy, spicy, and savory profile with fragrant kaffir lime leaves. Unlike other curries, Chuchee has a drier, richer sauce designed to cling to the protein.
Key ingredients
White fish fillet (e.g., barramundi, snapper), red curry paste, coconut milk, fish sauce, kaffir lime leaves, fresh chilies, Thai basil, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Confirm no added sugar in the curry paste or sauce. Request extra low-carb vegetables (e.g., green beans, bell peppers) if available. Avoid any cornstarch or sugar-based thickeners.
