Low Carb Panang Curry

This Keto Thai curry recipe is called Panang curry, which is a popular Thai dish. The broth is made with a sweet and salty blend of coconut cream and peanut butter. A little red curry paste adds a touch of spice. Chunks of chicken with thick strips of bell peppers fill up the curry and your belly. The combination of flavors may sound a little strange as you look through the ingredients list, but it’s actually the perfect blend of ingredients to make a savory flavor that can leave a person salivating.

What is Panang curry?

Panang curry is a Thai dish and can have a variety of spellings. It falls under the red curry category, but it’s much sweeter than common curry. The addition of peanuts can make a sweet and salty combo that’s traditional for this curry. Panang curry is known to be made with beef, pork, and chicken. Chicken was chosen for this recipe, but you can try other proteins if you like.

Where to get red curry paste

Curry paste can be bought in small jars where you find other Asian foods. If you don’t have an Asian market around you, large-chain grocery stores may have an international aisle you can browse. Curry paste is made with a blend of aromatic ingredients that have been roasted before they’re blended together. You could always make your own curry paste at home too!

Serving suggestions

You can enjoy this recipe as a meal all on its own and feel satiated. However, you could serve the curry over a bowl of riced cauliflower cooked to your liking. You could also eat the curry with shirataki noodles, which are made with ultra-low-carb yam flour. For the most fiber, your best side dish option would be to choose a bed of mixed Keto vegetables sauteed or steamed to your preference.

Recipe Steps

steps 5

1 h 5 min

  • Step 1

    Melt coconut oil in the bottom of a soup pot on the stove over medium heat. Add minced garlic, grated ginger root, and dried onion powder to the oil. Cook the spices in the oil until they’re fragrant - about 60-90 seconds.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Reduce the heat and melt peanut butter and red curry paste in the oil next. Cut red and green bell pepper into strips and add them to the pot. Cover the pot with a lid and cook the peppers in the oil for about 5 minutes.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Pour chicken broth into the pot. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir the coconut cream and salt into the broth until the cream can be stirred in completely.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Keep the pot simmering while you cube chicken breast. Add chicken breast, brown sugar erythritol, fish sauce, lime juice, and large chopped or ripped basil leaves to the pot. Cover the pot and simmer the curry on low heat for at least 30 minutes or up to 60.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Remove the cover from the pot and simmer with the heat a little higher. Reduce the curry for about 5 minutes. Serve the curry as it is like a soup or ladle over riced cauliflower.
    Step 5

    Changed som stuff, less broth and added galanga and kaffir limeleaves and peanuts on top instead of peanut butter. Used fiber syrap for brown suger replacement but only needed half, it was fantastic 😋😘
