This delicious debate bubbles up from our diverse views on health, flavour, and kitchen traditions.
Full-fat coconut cream, butter and sour cream are the rock stars of rich taste, adding depth and a velvety texture to our favourite dishes. In particular, when cooking curry it also adds a more robust flavour and enhances the overall mouthfeel of the dish which we love.
But wait! Here come the low-fat heroes, swooping in with claims of health benefits galore. They promise to trim those calories and keep heart disease at bay, making them the go-to for nutritional value and dietary reasons.
As if that wasn’t enough, our tasty dilemma is stirred by ever-changing scientific research and dietary guidelines that sometimes send mixed signals. Toss in personal tastes, cultural quirks, and dietary restrictions, and you’ve got a recipe for a flavourful debate!
In the end, whether you side with creamy decadence or lean, mean health machines, it’s all about your own goals and values. So, grab your spatula and weigh the benefits, because in the kitchen, it’s all about making choices that suit your unique palate!
If low-fat is your preference, be generous with your spices and seasoning to make up for potential loss in richness and allow to simmer a little longer to reduce and thicken.

Be happy and eat curry 🙂
