High FODMAP
Butter Chicken Sauce
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Butter chicken sauce simmers tomatoes, cream, butter, and spices to create a rich and aromatic curry base. Tomatoes and dairy remain low in FODMAPs at moderate servings, but traditional recipes rely heavily on onion and garlic for flavor foundation. Commercial jarred versions frequently add wheat thickeners, cashew paste, or honey to replicate slow-cooked depth and stabilize texture. The combination of fructans and galacto-oligosaccharides makes standard restaurant portions challenging for sensitive digestion. Careful recipe modification ensures safer consumption without sacrificing authentic taste.

Prepare the base using tomato puree, lactose-free cream, and ginger-turmeric seasoning to eliminate allium triggers completely. Use cashew alternatives like hemp seed paste or increase butter content to maintain richness without introducing GOS. Simmer gently for thirty minutes to allow spices to infuse while preventing dairy separation and texture breakdown.
