Nutritional Information
Due to the presence of chicken breasts and coconut, khoresh nargil contains a lot of protein. Coconut also has many vitamins and minerals.
Morghe porteghali is one of the dishes very similar to this dish, which I suggest you definitely try. Because this food is also prepared from chicken meat and is very nutritious and full of protein.
“Coconut is also relatively high in fat, which helps your body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins D, E, A, and K,” she explains. “This is important because vitamins D and K may be associated with a more diverse, and therefore more resilient, gut microbiome.”
