Keto Fish Curry

Keto Recipes > Keto Dinner Recipes

This simple yet delicious fish curry is a tasty solution to those colder evenings. Savory and spicy, it will make you feel warm from the inside out.

Fish curry is a popular meal originating from Asia, where fish is a staple food. It is usually made with coconut milk and simmered until fragrant, and the seafood flavor is immersed through the sauce. Fish curry is generally best when accompanied with a pickled element, and this curry is no different. Pickled onions add a sour touch and cut through the rich sauce.

Keto Fish Curry Second

Fish is a low-carb, keto-friendly protein source. It is also lower in fat than other protein options, so it’s suitable for people strictly counting macros or keeping an eye on their fat intake. Because of its light taste and texture, fish is family-friendly and makes an excellent choice for fussy eaters.

Curry and rice go together perfectly. This fish curry recipe replaces the carb-heavy rice with a lighter yet just as delicious alternative, cauliflower rice. This version of cauli rice is lightly fried to enhance the slightly sweet, slightly savory taste of cauliflower. 

This curry has medium heat with curry powder and sambal oelek. If you are making this curry for kids, you can always lower the amount of spice. Likewise, if you’re someone that likes a bit more heat, feel free to adjust the levels based on your preferences!
