Healthy chicken curry with coconut milk? Here's a simple recipe

Our chicken curry is delicious and light. Even lactose intolerant people or lovers of oriental food will enjoy it.

Chicken is the easiest meat to prepare and can be processed in perhaps a million ways.

It is an important food for people with weakened immunity. It contains beneficial substances that contribute to the construction of our tissues.

It also contains the beneficial niacin, which is a great aid in energy production and maintaining healthy skin and a well-functioning digestive tract.

Chicken meat contains vitamins and minerals that promote hair and nail growth, nourish the skin and normalise metabolism.

Due to its lightness, it is also one of the favourite dietary foods. It is low in calories and fat. It is very digestible and also very filling.

It is also popular with fitness enthusiasts and bodybuilders because it is very rich in protein, which helps muscle growth and volume.

If really good quality chicken meat is consumed, it is very good in preventing heart disease and stroke.

The color of turmeric is similar to the color of gold and is equally valuable for health. It is a very powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory effects.

It is no coincidence that it was used hundreds of years ago in folk medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, as part of Ayurveda and similar healing and therapeutic practices.

It also helps to improve brain function and even reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.

Its anti-inflammatory and regenerative function helps against a range of digestive problems, stomach upsets, weakened immunity, inflammation and joint problems, and yeast infections.

Ginger is also part of our recipe. In our area we use it for inflammation and weakened immunity.

This root from Southeast Asia is rich in vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to the body and brain, and has versatile uses.

Did you know that the recommended daily dose of ginger is about 4 grams?

Some of the positive effects of ginger include relieving nausea, boosting immunity and digestion, preventing stomach ulcers, promoting brain health or easing menstrual cramps.
