Hi, Curry is made up of meat or vegetables in a spiced sauce, usually accompanied by rice, curry can potentially claim ?good for you? status. The vegetables contain lots of minerals and nutrients, and turmeric ? the main spice in most curry powders ? has anti-inflammatory effects. You can thank the curcumin it contains, a compound which gives it its typically orange colour. Some believe it also helps your cardiovascular system, and could even enhance chemotherapy when treating bowel cancer. But use Good quality ingredients and less oil and salt. Rice is a good source of carb,which is also needed.. so it is best to mix small amount of rice along with curry. Little rice or 1-2 chapati can be taken.
