Curries are my go-to when I have random veggies to use up, lots of friends to visit or need to meal-prep some lunches in the freezer. I know a lot of people are scared of making their own curies from scratch and the list of […]

Easy Healthy Korma Sauce (gluten, dairy and sugar free)

Easy Healthy Korma Sauce (gluten, dairy and sugar free)

Korma is one of the favourite curry choices on takeaways across the UK. But it’s also one of the most calorific, commonly packed with cream. And some of the jar versions also pack a rather hefty sugar punch too. But this Easy Healthy Korma Sauce can be whipped up in the time it takes to get a curry delivered and used with whatever you like – vegetables, paneer, fish, prawns, meat, fake meat, tofu…the list goes on. Or you could use it to dip your chips in like a true Brit!

This version of korma sauce is heathier than the usual as it contains no added sugar, minimal fat, one portion of vegetables and can be made completely gluten free. If you look at many ready-made sauces they are bulked out or use thickening agents which can contain gluten. This one can be made with both regular plain flour but also coconut flour which is gluten free. Similarly the extra creaminess can be added with regular or low fat Greek yoghurt or unflavoured coconut yoghurt making it vegan too. Perfect if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions in your house or for visitors.
