FAQs:

Is lamb curry okay for low histamine?
Yes—if you use fresh lamb, no tomato, and skip aged spices or chili. This recipe is specifically adjusted to be histamine-safe.

Citrus is a known histamine trigger—omit it completely or use fresh herbs for brightness.

What’s a good tomato substitute in curry?
Try pureed steamed carrots. It adds mild sweetness and color without the histamine load.
