What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 bowl)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
This curry has a little gut-friendly goodness from peas, onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, and coriander. Peas bring some fibre, and the tomato adds vitamin C, while ginger and garlic can feel soothing for digestion and help the body handle a heavy meal better. But this version is also very rich in fat — 111g per serving — so it can sit heavy on the stomach, especially if you already have acidity or a slow digestion day. A practical tip: pair it with plain phulka and a kachumber salad, and keep the portion small so the gravy doesn’t overwhelm your gut.
