Nutritional values

The combination of poultry, corn and raita provides a lot of protein, vitamins, minerals and little fat. This sharpens night vision, lowers cholesterol levels, promotes the work of the bile, protects the heart and vessels and improves blood lipids.

If cooking the corn on the cob is too much work for you, take corn kernels out of the can. They are also available in organic quality. Simply heat the yellow corn kernels with a little butter and serve as a side dish - with parsley or coriander green as desired.
