Nutritional values
If carrots dominate a meal, then it is rich in beta-carotene. The secondary plant substance is itself active as a cell protecting antioxidant. It is also converted into vital vitamin A in the small intestine. This is important for the structure, function and maintenance of skin, mucous membranes, blood cells, nerve cells and for the visual process.
Almonds harmonize perfectly with all the aromatic spices and mild carrots. Add them to the yoghurt sauce, chopped and roasted. This not only ensures a crunchy bite, but also provides an extra vitamin E boost.
