Keto Thai Curry is a rich, creamy, and aromatic dish that brings the bold and vibrant flavors of Thailand straight to your plate, while keeping it low-carb and keto-friendly. Traditionally, Thai curries are made with coconut milk, lemongrass, and a variety of spices that make them both comforting and full of depth. In this simplified keto version, we use coconut milk, curry paste, and fresh vegetables to create a deliciously creamy and spicy curry without the high-carb ingredients like sugar or potatoes.
You can customize this dish with your choice of protein (chicken, shrimp, or tofu) or make it a purely vegetable-basedcurry. It’s rich in healthy fats from the coconut milk and full of flavor, making it an ideal meal for those following a keto lifestyle.
