Chicken Curry With Cauliflower Rice : Low Carb

Now you don't have to be a master-chef to make this delicious chicken curry. It is very easy to make, tastes great and is just a super low carb dish.





Ingredients:
Serves Two
Two chicken breasts cut into pieces
Two tablespoons of chopped green Jalapeno peppers seeds removed
Three teaspoons of Pataks madras paste (hot)
A cup of chopped mushrooms
Half a chopped red bell pepper
Half a cauliflower grated
Half a cup of double cream
Two large knobs of butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:
Place chopped chicken in a frying pan with a knob of butter, cook at a medium heat turning to lightly brown all over.

Add the cream, peppers, mushrooms and curry paste. Allow to simmer for around 15 minutes, keeping well stirred.

Grate half a cauliflower and place in a frying pan with a knob of butter. Stirring well, heat until steam is rising.

Serve on a warmed plate and enjoy. Very easy to make. No cookery skills required and tastes great. Low carb, fresh whole foods.

Hope you enjoy this dish.

All the best Jan

It looks delicious. I rarely make curry as the rest of the family won't eat it, or should I say they wouldn't at one time, Eleanor's coming round to it so I sometimes make it when there's just the two of us at home. It's a shame really as curry is one of my favourite dishes.

Many thanks for your comment Jo.
This is a lovely recipe and so easy to do ... although we make it with a 'hot paste' it can be made with one slightly milder, just wondered if the family may prefer this?
If not then why not enjoy a mother and daughter evening one night!!!

Hope you've had a good Monday.

All the best Jan

I might give this a try.

My standard chicken curry includes cashew nuts, multicoloured peppers and garlic. I mix and match turmeric, cayenne, cardamom, coriander and cumin, and sometimes ginger, with tomato puree for the sauce. Sometimes I add other stuff like bamboo shoots and water chestnuts, or broccoli florets.

By evening I can eat an anatomically correct (ie. small) portion of rice.

For this I'd probably delete the cardamom and ginger and add garam marsala. No, I don't still have a spice rack, I keep them in the front of an overhead cupboard.

Hi Chris ... I don't have a spice rack either! Either use fresh or keep a variety of spices / herbs in the cupboard!

Curries are so versatile from the milder variety to a slightly stronger one, just make them according to taste. I do like bamboo shoots too - although not so keen on water chestnuts ... however, with so much LCHF foods to choose from it can be so easy to ring the changes.

Enjoy your meal this evening ...

All the best Jan

What a delicious looking meal!!!

Jan, cleaning this shop is like stepping back in time or reading someone's diary. It is educational as well as challenging.

Have a blessed evening.

It does sound yummy, I want hubby to try cauliflower. I hope he likes it, thanks for sharing the recipe!

Gail - thanks for your comment, it is a very tasty meal and makes a nice change.

Yes ... your 'task' on your recent blog post was indeed "educational as well as challenging" and also rewarding as you stepped back at the end of the day!
Of course you do still have more to do .... but so worth doing!

All the best Jan

Denise, we often have cauliflower rice, it goes just great with many meals ... hope you can get to try it out soon.

Hi Eileen ... do please give the cauliflower rice a try, it does work well and goes with many dishes, the curry featured here or a stroganoff as an other example.
Hope your hubby likes it!

Many thanks for your comment.

I discovered cauliflower rice by 'accident' - best accident I ever had :)

Lowcarb team member said...

Ayesha ... wow that was a brilliant 'accident'.
Cauliflower / Cauliflower Rice is a regular in our house.

Many thanks for your comment.

All the best Jan

Well I had a version of this today but because I'd been on a long walk AND mowed the lawn I treated myself to an anatomically correct (ie small) quantity of real rice. Delicious!

Lowcarb team member said...

Chris ... thanks for sharing, glad to hear you enjoyed the chicken curry recipe.
Now whether cauliflower rice accompany's it or rice - the choice is always up to the individual! But of course many diabetics, and non diabetics prefer to choose the cauliflower variety.

Bon Appetit to all

All the best Jan
