This easy low FODMAP chicken curry turns a favorite Indian takeout classic—butter chicken—into a dairy-free, gut-friendly meal that still feels rich and satisfying thanks to ghee and coconut milk. If you need a curry that won’t upset your digestion, this one is made for you.
One of my main goals when creating recipes for the SIBO Made Simple book was to prove that dietary restrictions don’t mean you have to give up the flavors you love. Takeout can feel like a rare indulgence when you’re eating to manage symptoms, so I wanted to recreate a comforting, familiar curry that’s gentle on the gut.
This recipe preserves the aromatic spices of the traditional dish while leaving out garlic, onion and heavy cream. Instead of cream, I use the thicker part of canned coconut milk and swap butter for ghee—a lactose-free clarified butter that delivers richness without lactose.
