Dude! Coconut milk??? Wassup?

[mamakimberly]

Can I have it? Yay, Nay, Maybe Say?

I have no idea, but it is 3 carbs for a serving, 1 of which is fiber.

Seems pretty low to me, but then it isn't listed in DANDR that I saw so who knows?

What's the drill on it, my friends?

Bengal Shrimp Curry -posted by Ana

Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp
1 T olive oil
1 T curry powder
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1/4 cup water

Sauté onions in a little oil, sprinkle with curry powder. Stir in tomato and sauté few minutes. Add shrimp, stir to coat evenly. When shrimp is done (few minutes), pour in water and stir.
Serves 2 @ 8 carb (6 NET carbs)

I found a couple others on the internet googling curry recipes, but these, since they are on the ADBB, are Atkins friendly. I need to feed the others into fitday to see how they come out.

Re: Dude! Coconut milk??? Wassup?

yep just about any food in the right serving size can look low carb like sugar is 16 cals a teaspoon so that would only be 4 carbs regular milk is only 1.5 carbs per ounce but as we learn from reading our DANDR there are good carbs and bad carbs and carbs that are from sugar with little nutrient value or that can spike bllod sugars because of the rapid absorable rate are not what we want to be eatting inorder to control our cravings to give us the best results.
there are some very good curry recipes in the curry thread you can look at in the cooking chat board that should be induction friendly.

Happy low carbing.

not2late: I'm not sure what you were referring to, but coconut milk is definitely not high carb, gosh even in a large serving, it's pretty low-carb!

Well, here's the label of my coconut milk:

per 1/3 cup serving

120 calories, 100 fat

fat 11g
carbs 2g
fiber 0g
protein 1g

Ingredients: Coconut, water, guar gum, potassium metabisulfite (preservative).

The front of the can even says "LOW CARB" Unsweetened Juice of Coconut Meat.

Anyway, it does look like I can have it in the nut rung, and I'll be thrilled to pieces when I get there True, authentic, coconut-licious curry is a treat I will savor!

most canned coconut milk in the bar section of the stores is sweetened and high carb might be what she was referring to.

I love coconut cream and use it almost weekly.

You should try and get cream instead of milk because the milk is broken down further and often with some nasties.

I'm not sure if it is available in the U.S. but I use Kara coconut cream, it is pretty pure, and has somethink like 3g carb per 100mL (or gram? - I'm not sure but it is really low).

Coconut cream is one of my favourite perks of this WOE

Re: Dude! Coconut milk??? Wassup?

ahhh, yes, sweetened coconut milk is repulsively high-carb!

I'll have to look for coconut cream. Sound even better!

YUM!

Re: Dude! Coconut milk??? Wassup?

MamaKimberley try using cream instead, or sour cream, or cream cheese and water. It won't taste the same but will sort-of do the same job in the recipe. Perhaps.
I was enjoying thai green curry paste - until I read the ingredients, 16% palm sugar!! I haven't bought anymore.
