Why Cabbage Curry?

Cabbage is a nutritional powerhouse. It’s low in calories but high in vitamins C and K, antioxidants, and fiber. Cooking it into a curry enhances its natural sweetness and makes it the perfect pairing for rice, flatbreads, or even as a side dish. Plus, it’s an excellent way to use up that half-head of cabbage sitting in your fridge!

Let’s begin …

What Does Lactose Free Mean?

First and foremost, I try my best to incorporate lactose free ingredients in all my recipes. These ingredients can include, butter, milk, cream cheese etc. With that being said, sometimes it is hard to make an entire recipe using ALL lactose free ingredients. For example, my ice cream recipes include, condensed milk- NOT LACTOSE FREE.

Contrary to what some may believe, lactose – free is not the same as dairy free. Lactose – free still contains milk, however, there is a certain component, I believe a type of sugar (I may be wrong) where the lactose is removed from dairy, making it lactose – free. Dairy free on the other hand, contains ZERO milk. Alternatives for dairy free are almond milk, oat milk, soy milk etc. You can learn more about the differences here.

Which Ingredients Are Lactose Free?

• Zero!
