Curry has many medical properties including reducing inflammation of joints and preventing cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease. The combination of spices such as tumeric, cinnamon, anise and cardamom in curry gives it a powerful health boost.
Here is a tasty and healthy curry dish that I cook regularly.
