Curry is a staple dish around the globe. In the Caribbean, the availability of coconut milk makes curry a go to dish for many islands. Although it may be popular everywhere, every place and every chef has their own version of a curry.
Depending on what you put into it, curry can be a healthful meal but the calories can add up fast! Since coconut milk is high in saturated fat, leaving out the meat in your curry is one way to watch the calories and saturated fat in your dish.
Incorporating plant-based foods that contain protein like chickpeas, lentils, and whole grains makes sure you get the protein and fiber you need without all the extra calories.
