With saffron rice only good things come on the plate: Since natural rice is not peeled, silver skin and germ remains. This provides extra vitamins, minerals and fibre. Fresh peas have plenty of B vitamins in their luggage, while carrots and mango provide plenty of beta-carotene.

With fried tofu or chicken cubes, another portion of protein comes into play. The body not only needs the building material for strong muscles, but it is also a key substance for the immune system. Thus, our body has an increased need for it in case of infections.
