Nutritional values

This lamb curry is a treat for the immune system. Just one portion covers one and a half times the daily requirement of immune strengthening zinc. This is also good for your skin, because deficiency symptoms manifest themselves especially there - for example through rashes or eczema.

Try Bulgur as a side dish to the lamb curry. This coarse wheat semolina provides the perfect filling thanks to fibre and vegetable protein.
