Thai curry refers to dishes in the Thai cuisine that are made with various types of curry paste. Most Thai curry dishes are made with curry, coconut milk, meat, seafood, vegetables and herbs. Curries in Thailand mainly differ from the curries in Indian cuisine in their use of ingredients (herbs, aromatic leaves over a mix of spices).
Spaghetti squash is a great alternative to white rice or pasta (high in carbohydrates) on a KETO diet…especially when a dish has a flavorful gravy or sauce.
Spaghetti squash can be cooked in a variety of ways, including baking, boiling, steaming or microwaving. Once cooked the meat of this fruit can be prepared in a way that its “strands” look like and are as long as traditional spaghetti noodles. It is wonderfully served with or without sauce as a substitute for pasta, and its seeds can be roasted, similar to pumpkin seeds.

You ask is lamb good for a KETO diet? You’re good to have meat on a ketogenic diet and this includes fatty meat such as lamb, pork and poultry with the skin on. This is good news for the taste buds as fat helps to add a lot of flavor!
My favorite way to cook lamb is to add spices (coriander, cumin and turmeric, ginger and dried hot chilies) or ‘curry powder’ and pan-sear the lamb. For the sake of time I cook this fast, easy and very flavorful way to prepare boneless leg of lamb.
Cooking lamb pieces is very similar to cooking a filet mignon steak. In fact, this recipe could easily substitute a filet if you don’t have fresh lamb. But, if you get the chance, I highly recommend trying this pan-seared curry – thyme lamb steak recipe. It’s delicious, super easy, and ready in just 25 minutes. Hard to beat that!
Curry is the use of combinations of spices or herbs and the term is generally limited to dishes prepared in a sauce. Curry powder is a commercially prepared mixture of spices (coriander, cumin, turmeric & ginger), is largely a ‘Western’ creation. Dishes called ‘curry’ may contain fish, meat, poultry, or shellfish, either alone or in combination with vegetables. Since the mid-20th century, curries of many national styles have become popular and have become part of international fusion cuisine (Indian, Southeast Asia, East Asia, South Africa & West Indies).
I’ve cooked ‘curries’ which may be either ‘dry’ or ‘wet’. Dry curries are cooked with very little liquid and allowed to evaporate, leaving the other ingredients coated with the mixture. Wet curries contain significant amounts of sauce or gravy based on yogurt, cream, coconut milk or cream, legume puree, tomato puree, sauteed crushed onion or broth.
