Low Carb Almond Butter Chicken Curry

5 ratings

This recipe takes inspiration from Mughlai chicken, a traditional curry dish that uses a paste of ground almonds to create a rich base for the sauce.

This keto friendly curry uses almond butter and a variety of fragrant herbs and spices to create this earthy and creamy curry.

Perfect served over cauliflower rice.

Tip – ensure you are using an oily, runny almond butter – not a firm dry butter.

      So delicious! It doesn’t tell you 2 of the ingredients should be added to the sauce, the cloves and salt, so add them to the sauce. This meal is amazingly good over cauliflower rice.

        Why is the carb count 12? Is it the onions?

            Hi! Single cream is just regular standard cream - nothing added. Hope that helps!
