Curry Disaster

[Lemonie]

I have been trawling through recipes tonight for a lamb curry and I must have wandered off the low carb site I was on and have managed to make a curry that has 107.7g of carbs in it. Granted it will probably serve 4 but am really annoyed.

As a new low carber I had no idea how many carbs were in the seeds and spices I use. I have been thinking that Iam eating virtually no carbs but actually there are hidden ones everywhere. :shock:

Am just going to enjoy it now and it is less than a takeaway with rice would be (have made LC onion bhaji's)

you live and learn :eh:

Hi Lemonie, I look forward to hearing others replies, I thought the same as you that herbs and spices were negligible carbs. Hope it was lovely!!

It was lovely 4 tbsp of Coriander seeds = 32.9 carbs :crazy:

No no don't panic I think you miscalculated. Look here http://skipthepie.org/spices-and-herbs/ ... nder-seed/
Enjoy your curry the herbs and spices are good for you

SORRY for initially posting the wrong link DOH

Mmmm Whitby Jet, don't think you posted the right link there ...

Lemonie, I looked on line and think that 4 tbs of coriander seeds is 8 carbs. US carb calculator sites include the fibre and so you have to take that off to get a UK measure of carbs. Anyway it looks like they are incredibly good for you, so I'm glad is was good!

Ah thanks for that. I will go and have another look. It didn't affect my BG much as was 4.8 before and 6.4 2 hours later. I was expecting more !!
