High FODMAP
Korma
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Korma is a mild, creamy curry featuring yogurt, nuts, cream, and tender meat or vegetables in a fragrant sauce. Traditional recipes blend almonds or cashews with onion, garlic, and yogurt to create a smooth, rich texture. While nuts are low FODMAP in limited portions, the sauce base still depends heavily on allium pastes for depth. The dairy component introduces lactose considerations depending on fermentation and dilution ratios.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Nut pastes remain safe when limited to a few tablespoons, but the hidden onion and garlic pose the real threat. Replacing alliums with fennel powder, coriander, and garlic-infused oil mimics the aromatic profile safely. Commercial kormas often use onion powder liberally to extend shelf life and enhance flavor. Preparing it at home allows precise control over dairy type and nut quantities.
