High FODMAP
Tikka Masala Sauce
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Tikka masala 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 sugar to standardize 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, ginger-turmeric seasoning to eliminate allium triggers completely. Avoid commercial jars that list onion powder or high-fructose sweeteners near the top of the ingredient panel to maintain purity. Simmer gently for twenty minutes to allow spices to infuse while preventing separation and texture breakdown.
