What’s in that Curry?

Curry powder, a generic term for blended spices, is highly associated with East Indian cuisine. There are, however, many different curries from all over the world. The most common spices included in curry powder are chili, ground coriander, ground ginger, pepper and turmeric.

Curry is such a popular spice mix because it provides a variety of health benefits that include:

  • Healthy digestion
  • Cancer prevention and treatment
  • Antioxidants
  • Heart health
  • Antibacterial activity
  • Liver toxicity

Did You Know?

Because of its high content of turmeric, not only does curry help with pain relief and inflammation reduction, curry has been shown to help improve bone health and reduce Alzheimer’s symptoms.

Early studies, although testing on humans is still in its early stages, show that curry can increase the speed of bone regrowth, connectivity, and repair. In addition, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in curry are shown to help reduce the risk of tumor growth, especially in the liver, and helps to prevent cardiovascular diseases.

  1. I made enough for dinner for myself and my husband, plus enough for leftovers tomorrow. It was really good. Although it needed a “punch” so I added some golden raisins and it was perfect. We enjoyed the cauliflower rice so much it’s going to be part of my lifestyle. I had a hard time finding Ghee butter, I’m going to order it online. So I used extra virgin olive oil while cooking the chicken.

  2. <33333 THIS! And, if u wanna really make it crazy-delicious? Add one big spoonful of KETO CASHEW / COCO BUTTER, stir in with the cauliflower rice and ghee.

    Maybe add some currants and or cubed sweet potatoes (on a high carb day?, if u are doing the 5/2 cycle?

    🙂 LOVE the recipes up here. X
