OK so the Christmas indulgence is well and truly over and it’s time to give my gut a rest and a chance to repair itself from reacting to nearly everything I eat! I’m going low FODMAP for a few weeks – cutting out the short chain carbohydrates that can cause digestive complaints and sensitivities. It can be a little challenging to create tasty food when you’re omitting the onions, garlic and such like that you usually use to flavour foods, but I’ll definitely be adding in the this easy fish recipe which I created a few months ago.
Servings |
|
- 3 cm ginger chopped
- 1 red chilli chopped
- 1 tbsp chives chopped
- 2 Tomatoes chopped
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp garam masala
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tin Coconut milk
- 500 g white fish such as haddock
- 2 large handfuls frozen peas
- 2 large handfuls corriander chopped
Ingredients

- Whizz up the ginger, chilli, chives and tomatoes in a mini blender or with a hand blender, until smooth.
- Dry fry the garam masala and cumin for a few seconds until fragrant, add the coconut oil and melt, then throw in the blended ingredients and coconut milk.
- Bring to the boil and simmer for a couple of minutes before adding the fish and peas.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked.
- Sprinkle the coriander on top and serve with some delicious green veggies.
I thought coconut milk was high fodmap
Coconut milk is low FODMAP as long as you stick to less than 1/2 cup per portion. This should be ok with this dish if you are eating the correct portion size – or there abouts! Of course everybody is different so if coconut milk is something you don’t tolerate then you may want to avoid it. You could probably substitute with something you do tolerate such as lactose free milk or cream.
Really stoked with this curry. I added a bunch of finely chopped red capsicum and bok choy to up the veg component and it still tastes fab – thank-you!
Sound lovely. Thanks for your comments Aimee.
Looking forward to trying this! Thank you for the recipe
You’re very welcome. Hope you enjoy it!
Delicious again, love these flabours
In general, peas are considered high FODMAP by Monash University.
Yes you are correct but 1 tbsp per portion (which is about what you would get here) is considered low FODMAP. People following a low FODMAP diet should still make an effort to get as much variety as possible and to work out which FODMAPs specifically cause them a problem. This may mean that some people can tolerate more or less or some foods which other people might not be able to.
