SPICY DESIRE

Tofu in Spicy Curry Sauce with Spinach

Vegan - Gluten Free

If you love spicy curry dishes then this one is definitely for you, even though it doesn’t have to be spicy. For those who do not like it, or if you have children then do not add the chili peppers. It is delicious even without it, but I personally love it slightly spicy. The main thing is that it is very light, highly nutritious, plus quick and easy.  

 

Even though I usually prefer to serve curry with the traditional Indian long grain white basmati rice, you can try another type of rice if you wish. Besides the white basmati, it may go well with red rice, which is not only delicious but also very healthy. I may actual try it myself next time I will make this meal again.

 

I also like to share some health benefits of curry with you this time, since so many of us love it so much.

 

Curry Powder is a popular spice mix that has a number of valuable health benefits, including the prevention of cancer, protection against heart disease, reduce Alzheimer’s disease symptoms, ease pain and inflammation, boost bone health, protect the immune system from bacterial infections,  and increase the liver’s ability to remove toxins from the body.

 

Curry powder is made up of numerous ingredients, and depending on the region of the world, they can change slightly, which can also alter the specific health benefits that may be derived from the powder. The most common and advantageous ingredients of curry powder are turmeric, coriander, cardamom, cumin, sweet basil, and red pepper. Some other ingredients that are occasionally added, depending on the specific recipe, are fennel seeds, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, or mustard seeds, all of which have individual health benefits. We will focus on the benefits from the most traditional form of curry powder. Read more
