Healthy, because
Curry is a spice mixture of many different spices that contain secondary plant substances that protect our body cells from free radicals and essential oils. The latter is able to calm our nerves and we can relax better. Kohlrabi contains such oils, so-called mustard oils, which strengthen our immune cells in the intestines and support our entire defence system.
Even smarter
Asian cuisine sends its regards. You can serve some cooked wholemeal rice with the curry vegetable soup. Instead of tofu, you can also add fried chicken or fish to the vegetable soup.
