FODMAP Notes

Use garlic-infused oil for flavor without FODMAPs. Check curry paste ingredients - many contain onion and garlic. Make your own or find a FODMAP-safe brand. Coconut milk is low FODMAP. Fenugreek leaves add authentic flavor.

Tips

  • 💡 Make your own curry paste for FODMAP safety
  • 💡 Bone-in thighs stay juicier than breasts
  • 💡 Adjust chili to your heat preference
  • 💡 Serve with naan or gluten-free flatbread
