Healthy, because
The meat of ducks is not only rich in protein, but also scores with magnesium, which is important for our muscle and nerve relaxation. It also contains vitamin B1, which is also important for our nerves and has a positive influence on them and our metabolism.
Even smarter
If you would like some leaner meat, use pineapple, wild or wild duck for the curried rice. You can also replace the currants with raisins or dried apricots. Cut the latter into small pieces and then add them to the rice.
