Quail Curry

Quail meat is rich in micro-nutrients and a wide range of vitamins including B complex, folate and vitamin E and K with extremely low skin fat and low cholesterol value. It is therefore highly recommended for people with high cholesterol levels and those who want to maintain a low level of cholesterol.
