This Meal3 and Meal 5 choice for @shazeats_mandysway is a culmination of dishes from South Asia, India and Pakistan. This Chicken Karahi is a healthy choice because of the spices and ingredients used and it doesn’t need a huge amount of oil to create this fragrant curry. The Karahi contains ginger, garlic, curcumin, garam masala (a blend of cinnamon, cardamons, black peppers,allspice) within the dish and each of the spices contain great health and medicinal properties. Ginger is a traditional cold remedy and contains antioxidants. Curcumin has strong anti-flammatory properties, whereas garam masala which is used in a lot of Indo- Pakistani cooking helps aide digestion and has antiseptic properties. For lunch have this curry with brown roti and for dinner its accompanied well with a Cabbage Sambar which is popular in Southern India.
