A keto-friendly version of all-time favorite chicken curry!

What is the difference between a bland dish and a delicious mouthwatering meal? Well, of course - spices! This simple keto chicken curry is a fantastic choice for all ethnic cuisine enthusiasts. It brings joy and aromas to the table, and it’s easy to make. We use a mortar and pestle to bring out the aromatic flavors of ginger, chili, onion, and garlic. Then we spice things even more with antioxidant-packed golden turmeric. Last, we use lemon zest to add a citrusy freshness to this hearty chicken dish. All this in just 30 minutes!
