The useful answer

Curry Roux and the low FODMAP diet

Curry roux cooks wheat flour, fat, and spices into a concentrated thickening block for sauce preparation. The wheat flour base contributes significant fructans that remain problematic even after prolonged simmering. Fat and spice components remain low in FODMAPs, but the overall blend requires careful portion monitoring. Commercial versions frequently add onion powder, garlic extract, or caramel color to enhance depth. Substituting wheat with rice flour or cornstarch ensures predictable digestive outcomes.

Preparation & context

What can change the result?

Prepare a safer base by toasting rice flour in oil with curry powder and simmering with broth until thickened. Avoid commercial blocks that list wheat flour or onion extracts near the top of the ingredient panel to prevent unnecessary triggers. Whisk continuously over medium heat to prevent scorching and achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
