Not only is this curry delicious it is also super nutritious too- bursting with fertility friendly nutrients- great for a mid week meal and easy to make in the slow cooker too.

Yam are a great starch based food and also provide fibre, selenium, iron, magnesium, zinc and are loaded with potassium, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin B6.

Chickpeas are a great source of protein, folate, magnesium and choline – all of which are very important nutrients when trying to conceive.

Spinach is an amazing source of folate, vitamin C, vitamin A and iron and lets not forget the tomatoes – bursting with vitamin C and Lycopene.
