This Curry in a Hurry is an awesome low-carb dinner option with whatever proteins and vegetables you have on hand!

This Curry in a Hurry is sponsored by Maya Kaimal, thank you for supporting the brands that make delicious Cast Iron Keto recipes EPIC.
One of my favorite go-to’s for a quick dinner is curry, typically this is an Indian curry with loads of spice and flavor. At one point I even thought it would be cool to have a food truck called “Curry On My Wayward Son”, ha! Anyways, you can see I love curry and that’s why I always have a few Maya Kaimal Simmer Sauces on hand to turn pretty much any leftover protein and vegetables in a delicious bowl of saucy goodness.

I mean, really – what could be simpler than throwing a few leftovers that (let’s not kid ourselves) you forgot you had in the back abyss of your refrigerator into a healthy keto-friendly dinner that can be ready in less than 20ish minutes? It’s a great way to prevent food waste and use up what you have on hand.

For this recipe pictured I used the Madras Simmer Sauce from Maya Kaimal with some leftovers, I had from this recipe, One Pan Chicken and Veggies. Let’s get into how to create your own with what you already have on hand.

Can I use any protein?

Pretty much, chicken, pork, shrimp, or even tofu or paneer will work great with any of the sauces. Paneer always has my vote. #cheeseforlife

Can I use any vegetables?

Green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, bell peppers, hot peppers, asparagus, onion, tomatoes, turnip, and zucchini or squash work great in curries.

Can the ingredients be already cooked?

Yes! In the recipe below I’ve provided the info about how to cook the curry if using fresh or cooked meat/vegetables.

How do I keep curry low-carb?

By keeping your vegetable options in the low carb zone, this will mean avoiding corn, carrots, potatoes, or any other starchy vegetable.

You’ll also want to serve the curry with cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.

How long does curry keep?

You can keep curry for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. We love these meal prep bowls that are BPA free for storing perfectly portioned meals making them perfect for grabbing for lunch or meal-prepping for the week.

What can I serve with the curry in a hurry?

Our go-to is cauliflower or Miracle Noodle “rice”, some type of hot sauce (this carrot habanero or Trader Joe’s Zong sauce has been our recent favorites), pickled onions, and sliced serranos, cucumbers, and fresh cilantro!

Maya Kaimal also has plenty of other awesome simmer sauces besides the Madras:

  • Tikka Masala
  • Kashmiri Curry
  • Butter Masala
  • Goan Coconut
  • Jalfrezi Curry
  • Vindaloo

Each will have a bit different carb count but most are perfectly suitable for a low-carb diet.

You can find Maya Kaimal at most grocers, be sure to use this handy product locator on their website to search for stores near you!

    Not impressed with this sauce. I happen to have it in the house and never used it because it has canola oil, just something I choose not to eat.

These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally featured in our cookbook and now that Cast Iron Keto is focused on plant-based + low-carb recipes, we thought it deserved a permanent place on the website.⁠
⁠
If you have our cookbook, have you tried this recipe out of the Meatless Monday chapter? If not, we hope you do, even if you’re more omnivore than plant-based. Why? Because they are simply delicious!⁠
⁠
The combination of the crumbled walnuts, tender cauliflower, and smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce create a filling that, while it resembles ground beef, is much more layered in flavors.⁠
⁠
The toppings are completely up to you, these are just our go-to’s. Some type of creamy sauce would be delicious too. Maybe a bit of dairy-free (or regular) sour cream mixed with a bit of extra chipotle in adobo? Yes, that sounds just perfect. You can grab the recipe link in our bio!⁠
