💡 Smart Nutritional Guidance
Consumption advice
Have two eggs with the delicious sauce, eaten with a fork alongside a green salad; a complete protein meal that keeps you full all evening.
Best preparation methods
Make small cuts in the boiled eggs before browning them with turmeric, so the spicy curry flavours soak right through to the yolk.
Important Nutritional Note
Egg yolk is rich in choline, lutein and vitamin B12, and the turmeric-ginger sauce improves insulin resistance and fights inflammation.
