Korma and the low FODMAP diet
Korma is a mild, creamy curry featuring yogurt, nuts, cream, and tender meat or vegetables in a fragrant sauce. Traditional recipes blend almonds or cashews with onion, garlic, and yogurt to create a smooth, rich texture. While nuts are low FODMAP in limited portions, the sauce base still depends heavily on allium pastes for depth. The dairy component introduces lactose considerations depending on fermentation and dilution ratios.

Portion size can change a FODMAP result. Treat this as the context for the range—not a personal tolerance guarantee.
What can change the result?
Nut pastes remain safe when limited to a few tablespoons, but the hidden onion and garlic pose the real threat. Replacing alliums with fennel powder, coriander, and garlic-infused oil mimics the aromatic profile safely. Commercial kormas often use onion powder liberally to extend shelf life and enhance flavor. Preparing it at home allows precise control over dairy type and nut quantities.
