Forget the spice-heavy, tomato-filled curries that trigger sensitive tummies. This version keeps it clean and calming—rich coconut milk gently simmers with fresh fish, leek greens, and warm herbs. It’s perfect for anyone needing an inflammation-friendly and gut-safe meal.

Ingredients Needed:

2 tbsp coconut oil: cold-pressed, for sautéing.
2 green onion tops or leek greens: finely chopped, gentle flavor.
1 tsp dried thyme or parsley: calming, replaces curry leaves.
1½ tsp ginger powder: warm spice without irritation.
1 pinch cinnamon (optional): subtle warmth.
1 can (400 ml) coconut milk: additive-free, full fat.
1 small zucchini or carrot, chopped: adds texture and natural sweetness.
1 lb (600g) firm white fish (cod, haddock, halibut): cut into chunks.
Salt (optional): to taste.
Fresh cilantro (optional): small amount for garnish.

How To Make Low Histamine Fish Curry:

Sauté Aromatics:
In a medium saucepan, melt coconut oil over medium heat. Add chopped green onion tops or leek greens and sauté for 2–3 minutes until soft.

Add Gentle Spices:
Stir in ginger powder, thyme, and optional cinnamon. Cook for 1 minute, just until fragrant.

Stir in Coconut Milk:
Pour in the coconut milk and mix well, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Add Veggies:
Add chopped zucchini or carrot and simmer for 5–7 minutes until tender.

Cook the Fish:
Add the fish chunks and a pinch of salt if using. Simmer for 6–8 minutes until the fish flakes easily.

Finish and Serve:
Gently stir in a little fresh cilantro if tolerated. Serve hot with plain white rice or steamed vegetables.

Recipe Tips:

Always use fresh, never frozen fish.
Make sure your coconut milk is gum-free and BPA-free for safest results.
Use zucchini or peeled carrots instead of tomato for bulk.
Skip spice blends—stick to single herbs and gentle seasoning.
Eat immediately after cooking—don’t let it sit.
