Today I will share with you my family’s favourite Indian curry recipe: Low Fodmap Lamb Korma. This mouth-watering curry has been adapted for the more sensitive tummies, yet it is still so creamy and delicious!
As you may know, my husband is of Indian origin, so we do eat quite a bit of Indian food at our house. We all like it, so I try and make it as often as possible. However, since starting the Low Fodmap diet, things have been a little harder. There are many ingredients that need to be avoided or substituted and while adapting an Italian recipe is reasonably easy for me, when it comes to Indian food I find it a bit more intimidating.
I am happy to say that now that I know my way around the Low Fodmap diet more, I have begun to successfully adapt Indian recipes too. Today, I will show you how to make the best Lamb Korma ever. This is our family favourite curry. So much so, that I also have a “regular”- non-Low Fodmap Lamb Korma recipe on the blog. Make sure to check that one out too!
As you cannot have cashew nuts when on the Low Fodmap diet, I have replaced them with macadamia nuts. I can assure you, you will not taste the difference at all. In fact, this curry is even creamier than its original version. Use lactose-free cream and yogurt, garlic-infused olive oil, and green onion stalks to keep it Low Fodmap. Also, just stick to the recommended amount of raisins and you will be fine.
Serve this delicious curry with some steamed Basmati rice for the perfect meal.
