Today's recipe is very popular among nonvegetarian food lovers in winter. This is Bater(quail) curry. Until a few years ago, only stories of quail food were heard. We also have a saying above the quail, that there are quail in the hands of the blind. All of this leads to how special it must have been in the past. The Wildlife Protection Act of India, since 1972, has been available for farming and purchasing purposes a few years before the ban on quail was lifted. Quail meat is rich in nutrition. It is a good source of iron, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), zinc, and vitamin B3 (niacin). Approximately 113g cooked quail has 257 calories, 28.5g of protein, 16g of fat, and no carbohydrates, fiber, or sugar. And above all, it is very tasty.
