Can I use heavy cream or yogurt instead of coconut cream?

Yes, you can use heavy cream or yoghurt in this recipe instead of coconut cream. I actually tested a few batches using yoghurt and I noticed that the sauce kept separating. Be mindful to use a high quality plain yoghurt.

Does this sauce taste like coconut?

Even though this sauce uses coconut cream I didn’t find that this keto curry had a coconut taste. It tastes like curry to me.

What is coconut cream?

Coconut cream is the thick cream that rises to the top of a can of coconut milk when you refrigerate it. Coconut cream is also available as a product that you can buy at your local grocery store. I prefer using a brand like Aroy-D when making curries or dishes like butter chicken because the coconut cream never separates for me.

How do I make cauliflower rice?

Use a cheese grater, knife, or a food processor fitted with a grating attachment, grate or finely chop the cauliflower to resemble rice. Then saute the cauliflower rice in olive oil and season with salt until the riced cauliflower is softened.

What is garam masala?

Garam masala is a blend of spices that is used in indian dishes. It often contains cinnamon, cumin, cardamon, and black pepper. It is easy to find in any major grocery store or online through Amazon. I do recommend trying it with the garam masala.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast?

Yes, you can use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast in this keto curry. I prefer it made with chicken breast. It will still taste great if you switch it.

I'm allergic to nuts. Is coconut a nut allergy?

If you are allergic to nuts it makes sense to wonder if you can eat anything made with coconuts. Coconut is not a botanical nut; it is classified as a fruit . If you are allergic to tree nuts, please talk to your allergist/doctor before adding coconut to your diet.

How long do curry leftovers last?

You can keep keto curry leftovers in your fridge for up to 4 days stored in an airtight container or keep them stored in your freezer for up to 3 months.

Instructions

First, prepare all of your ingredients. Chop the onions and garlic and set aside.
Place all of the spices, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces, and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken in the hot skillet, season with a little sea salt, and cook until the chicken is browned. Then remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Add the onion, garlic, cauliflower, and red pepper to the hot pan, season with a little sea salt, and saute until the cauliflower is softened but not fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
Next, add the bowl of spices to the vegetables and stir to incorporate. Saute for about 2 minutes.
Add the coconut cream, and tomato paste and stir to combine. Then add back in the cooked chicken.
Cook for at least 15 minutes or until the sauce is at your desired thickness, and the cauliflower is cooked. You can increase the temperature to high-medium to speed this up.
Serve over cauliflower rice and garnish with cilantro.
