Curry As A Superfood
Not only is curry super delicious, it is also hosts a slew of health benefits, most notably from the turmeric in it. This PBS post shares more about the history and health benefits of turmeric. Full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and brain healthy goods, curry powder is probably an underutilized super spice in your cabinet if I had to guess. It’s really just a combination of spices – most often turmeric, coriander, cardamom, cumin, ginger, mustard seed, pepper and cinnamon. When you use a paste like we’ve done with this recipe you get some variation, but overall adding curry to your diet is a great way to get some superfoods into your day!
Green Or Red Curry Paste
This Thai coconut curry recipe calls for either green or red curry paste. You really can choose either, and we note that finding a Whole30 compliant green curry paste is a little harder. This brand of green curry paste is cleaner than others which contain peanut oil. It does have Safflower Oil in it though which is considered an item to minimize if you’re doing a Whole30. We think that using it in a recipe from time to time is ok, especially when it has turmeric and other health promoting ingredients! Here is the red curry paste we get when use that kind.
Make It A Bowl
You can absolutely enjoy this Thai coconut curry just as it is. If you scoop some extra sauce into your bowl it feels a little soup like. Some other ways to enjoy this are over rice (either cauliflower rice or plain white rice – stick to cauli rice for Whole30 – omit for Keto), with your favorite roasted veggies or in a roasted squash. It’s tasty to stuff a delicata squash with this Thai coconut curry! You’ll have to let us know what you do with it.
