The vibrant spices and creamy textures of Panang Curry can be tempting; however, due to its potential high sodium content and rich, fatty coconut milk or cream base, it is advised to consume in limited amounts. The body retains more water during pregnancy, which can increase the risk of hypertension, so keeping sodium levels in check is essential for both mother and baby. Including an abundance of fresh vegetables mixed in or alongside can help balance this rich dish.
