Nutritional Value of Food Materials
Carrot
Carrot is rich in carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in human body. As long as 2 ~ 3 small pieces of carrot can meet children’s daily vitamin A needs. Vitamin A is especially important for children’s eyesight and bone development, and can also promote the health of hair, skin and nails.
Beef
Iron is a necessary element for hemoglobin production. Iron deficiency is easy to lead to anemia. It is not uncommon for children aged 1-3 to suffer from iron deficiency, which will have a negative impact on children’s intelligence and athletic ability. Meat, especially red meat such as beef, mutton and pork, is a good source of iron, and iron in meat is especially easy to absorb.
Potatoes
Potassium plays an important role in health and development. Potassium and sodium together maintain the body’s liquid balance and keep blood pressure within the normal range. Potassium is also indispensable for muscle contraction and heart beating. Potatoes are an excellent source of potassium. Each potato contains about half of the amount of potassium that children need every day.
Other advantages of this recipe
Step 1: Control salt and grease
Compared with curry made from commercially available curry pieces, cream or coconut milk, we use salt-free original curry powder and yogurt to thicken and aroma, which can greatly reduce the fat and sodium content of curry, making this dish healthier and more suitable for children to eat.
When buying curry powder, you should pay attention to the ingredient list. Apart from various spices, it is best not to contain salt, grease and other food additives.
2. Vegetables are soft and easy to eat.
Some children don’t like to eat carrots or other vegetables, sometimes because they don’t accept the taste of carrots themselves, but sometimes because they are not soft enough to bite. Using a small amount of curry powder to cook soft carrots solves both problems at once.
Step 3: Rich flavors
Children are born with strong curiosity about novelty. Curry powder is made up of a variety of spices, which can bring more sensory stimulation to children. Cooking a pot of curry will make the room fragrant, and children’s appetite will also be boosted.
Precautions for Eating
This curry is as delicious as it is cooked fresh and warm, or it is eaten the next day after being refrigerated in the refrigerator.
Potatoes have a relatively high starch content, so they can be eaten with a small amount of (rough) rice or not.
If you can match other hot vegetables when eating, it will be even better to enrich the variety of vegetables. Moreover, the vegetables in curry are all boiled yellow and yellow. In addition, adding hot vegetables can make the overall color brighter and more attractive to children.
