AIP Chicken Korma
AIP Chicken Korma
"It’s time to spice it up. Tumeric, cinnamon, and ground ginger dial up the flavor of this AIP chicken korma masterpiece. Safe Spices If you’re familiar with chicken korma, you probably associate it with a curry flavor. This tasty dish does a great job in achieving the magic of korma without the inflammatory risk of curry. Curry is actually a blend of spices, typically comprised of coriander, cumin, fenugreek, and red pepper. These ingredients are not recommended for those following an AIP diet, so curry too is to be avoided. Red pepper is out because it falls within the nightshade family, like white potatoes and tomatoes. Cumin, fenugreek, and coriander are seeds to be avoided."
