Love Ya Guts Yellow Lamb Curry
WHY DO WE RECOMMEND MAKING YOUR OWN CURRY PASTE?
It may seem like a lot more effort BUT we couldn't emphasise this step enough. The main reasons are:
- many store bought curry pastes have added preservatives, colourings, additives and artificial flavours. These ingredients are NOT REAL ingredients and are not made to be digestive by our digestive system. It is often from these artificial ingredients that many IBS symptoms arise.
- Many store bought curry pastes are made using highly processed oils such as vegetable or canola. These are considered inflammatory for the body and even though it may only seem like a small, insignificant amount... when you are already dealing with a compromised gut.. anything will stir up more inflammation.
- You need to ask yourself the question. How long have these paste been sitting on the shelf? My guess is that they were made years ago (which is generally the case). The ingredients are not fresh and will in no way taste as good and fragrant as a made-from-scratch curry paste.
As a side note: You may be able to find some really great pre-made curry pastes. We totally understand that when you are time poor a recipe like this is just not really realistic.. especially because the ingredients aren't ones that you might have on hand. I would recommend having a look in your local health food store and seeing what ingredients are in the pre made versions available there.
