FODMAP Notes
Use only the thick coconut cream, not the thin liquid, for lower FODMAPs. Check curry powder for FODMAP-safe ingredients. Asafetida provides onion flavor without FODMAPs. Fish and vegetables are all safe.
Tips
- 💡 Refrigerate coconut milk overnight to separate cream
- 💡 Use firm fish that won't fall apart
- 💡 Scale up for more servings
- 💡 Add more chili for heat

This simple curry is perfect for a solo dinner. The thick coconut cream creates a rich, flavorful sauce that envelops tender pieces of fish.
