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
