Here is a super simple meal to enjoy with loved ones. Easy to create, with simple nutrition, and packed with robust flavor. I enjoy serving curry dishes over any type of rice. So yummy! Nowadays, curry powder is widely utilized and very popular especially for overall wellness. This super food spice mix has numerous health benefits such as reducing cancer risks, alzheimers symptoms, eases inflammation, improves bone health, protects the immune system and increases the liver’s ability to remove toxins from the body. Most curry powders are made up of tumeric, coriander, cardamom, cumin, basil and red pepper.  While some other ingredients may be added to the mix, it’s best to purchase the organic packaging for higher nutrient levels with quality as well. So add some more spice to your life.
