Healthy, because
The Indian chicken curry offers lean chicken meat, therefore it is always very popular with figure-conscious people. But also sportsmen appreciate the meat because of its high protein content. This protein makes our muscles grow and serves as a building material for body cells. In addition, the chicken scores with minerals such as nerve-strengthening magnesium and potassium for a healthy heart.
Even smarter
With the Indian chicken curry goes natural rice or Indian naan bread as a side dish. To make the dish even healthier, you can add other vegetables such as zucchini, aubergine, chickpeas, etc. together with the paprika.
