We don’t use coconut milk in India?? Have you heard of South India? Or South Indian cuisine?
I made this recipe and it was absolutely delicious. I love that there was plenty of sauce for each serving as well.
I would like to know how to add a little more heat to curry dishes.
I’m planning to make your buttered chicken recipe this evening.
This curry is simply delicious! I added a pinch of zanthum gum to thicken the sauce. This will be a dish I make frequently! Thank you.
This recipe is a winner it has explosive flavor just like all of your recipes seem to have. I love it!
Wow! this turned out awesome. Much better than I could have imagined. I’ll be telling all my friends about this and I won’t even mention that its keto.
Hey, love keto connect, you guys rock!
Was just wondering what the macros of the curry sauce without the shrimp would be and if you had any recommendations for other low carb, high fat sauces that I could add yo proteins.
Just made this for the first time. As a very basic cook person, the sauce wouldn’t thicken for me but I probably didn’t do it quite right. Still a great tasting meal though. thanks for the information
Love the flavor but my sauce would not thicken either. Any tricks?
How do I do steamed cauliflower rice. Tried once, not good. Cooked
Too long. Love the show,
One comment, talk a bit slower. I write everything down and often miss things. Thanks?
Does the nutrition facts count the cauliflower rice?
No, it does not include the cauliflower rice
Ghee is dairy … so not an alternative really!
Ghee does not contain lactose. If it does, it is very trace amounts.
so yummy…used chicken instead. loved it!
NB Ghee is dairy! It’s clarified butter.
Yes, but for people who can’t eat dairy due to lactose intolerance, it is less likely to cause symptoms.
