Tandoori Chicken and Grilled Veggies
Published June 23, 2011Tabuleh Cafe’s tandoori chicken is made from boneless chicken thighs and then marinated in our own tandoori sauce and curry powder.
Chicken is an excellent source of protein; in fact, four ounces provide 67.6% of the daily value for protein. Protein protects against bone loss in elderly people. A study has shown us that 70-90-year-old women and men that had the highest protein intake lost significantly less bone over a four-year period than those who consumed less protein. Chicken also contains cancer-protective nutrients like Vitamin B, niacin, and selenium. Vitamin B promotes energy and cardiovascular health. Selenium is important for thyroid hormone metabolism, antioxidant defense systems and immune function. Protection against Alzheimer’s disease and other age-related cognitive declines is found in chicken as well.
Our grilled veggies have many health benefits. Tomatoes promote prostate health, as well as regulate proper colon and pancreatic functioning. Cucumbers contain silica which is essential for your muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bones. Green peppers are very beneficial to smokers and/or those effected by second hand smoke because they are Vitamin A rich. Onions support bone and connective tissue, are also anti-inflammatory, and protect against cancer.

Our beef comes from cows that are grass fed, which means these cows are a lot healthier and that benefits you by eating it. Most cows used for their beef are fed corn even though they are not able to digest it properly. Cows are fed corn to make them as beefy as quickly and cheaply as possible. Although corn gives cows more fat (more meat to be cut and sold) it is all saturated fat and cannot be cut off from the meat like grass fed cows. The grass fed cow is lower in fat and artery clogging saturated fat and provides omega-3 fats. It also has three times more Vitamin E than corn fed cattle and is a lot higher in conjugated linoleic acid (shown to lower cancer risk). Lastly, grass fed cows are treated more humanely that corn fed cows. They are housed differently and live better lives than the less fortunate cattle in other factory farms.
Paired with rice pilaf or brown rice lentil pilaf and a soup, salad, grilled veggies, or Tabuleh, you are sure to be taking in a very supplemental meal.

Romaine lettuce is packed with Vitamin C and beta-carotene which work together to stop the oxidation of cholesterol. If cholesterol oxidizes, it builds up on the walls of your arteries. When there is a build-up of plaque in your arteries, you run the risk of heart attack or stroke. Fiber also plays a role in keeping your heart safe. The fiber from the romaine lettuce removes bile salts from your body which causes your body to make more bile. More bile means a greater break-down of cholesterol, which is obviously a good thing.
Tomatoes promote prostate health, as well as proper colon and pancreatic functioning. Cucumbers contain silica which is essential for your muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bones. Green peppers are very beneficial to smokers and/or those effected by second-hand smoke because they are Vitamin A rich. Onions support bone and connective tissue, are also anti-inflammatory, and protect against cancer. Feta cheese promotes weight loss and reduces the risk of getting metabolic syndrome, and the lemon juice this feta cheese is tossed in has Vitamin C which is also very good for you. Olive oil dressing has many vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants that beneficial to your health in a variety of ways.
