Ideas to improve a no-salt, tomato-free curry for kidney disease

11 replies

RanchRat · 11/05/2026 19:44

I am making curries for Chronic Kidney Disease, which means no salt and no tomato. I have no salt curry powder, onions, cumin, tumeric, ginger, garam masala and garlic, mushrooms, peas, turkey mince, adding lemon juice and fresh coriander at the end. Can I add anything to make it better? It is still a bit boring.

What about creamed coconut - is that suitable to add?

I love aubergine, cauliflower and potatoes in a curry - all slightly creamier to add balance, okra is also good in a curry?

I was going to suggest a can of coconut milk or even cream if you want a creamy curry.

Forget the turkey mince and make a dahl instead. Use coconut milk, use a dash of lemon juice instead of salt as a flavour enhancer. Veg of choice. I prefer them with breads rather than rice. Lovely.

Be careful with potatoes if they have potassium restrictions

Coconut is high potassium. Mushrooms too

MSG? I don't know if it's allowed.

Amchar mango powder makes everything better

Thank you. Great suggestions, I have to check them all for potassium, but looks like some strong possibilities. Hope to have an excellent curry next week.

Just found this looking for a low salt recipe out of curiosity!
