Red Curry with Vegetables

did this recipe on Sunday but I used chicken instead of Tofu and I added a red pepper, an onion and half a red chili to add spice to it. Instead of rice I served it with bulgur as it has no cholesterol. A serving of bulgur provides 5.6 g protein and 33.8 g carbohydrates, with less than 1 g of total sugars, 8.2 g fibre, 1.8 mg of iron.

Sweet potato is low in Sodium, and very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin B6 and Potassium, and a very good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Manganese.
