This low-carb Spicy Coconut Vegetable recipe is perfect for those who love hot and spicy comfort foods. Made with coconut cream, vegetables and spices that are full of flavor and cooked to perfection. You can use any combination of vegetables.
The Indian Chili powder adds “heat” at the back of your mouth. Since I love that heat, I up the quantity of Indian Chili powder up to 1/2 teaspoon. The first time you cook the recipe start with 1/4 teaspoon and gradually add more if you like it HOT!
If you don’t have Indian Chili powder (bright red) you can use American Chili Powder … just double the quantity.
The recipe as I’ve written it below is suitable for most low-carb diets. Half a serving would work with a Keto Diet with a NET carb count of 3.

Ingredients:
Indian Chili Powder
Indian Chili Powder is very HOT and very different from American brands of Chili Powder. It is bright red and very finely ground. The 1/4 teaspoon called for in this recipe will definitely add some heat. Tone the heat down by starting with 1/8 of a teaspoon. Heat it UP by adding 1/16 of a teaspoon … like I said, it is very hot!
You can substitute Cayenne Pepper in the same quantity called for in the recipe.
