OIL’S WELL THAT BLENDS WELL

OIL’S WELL THAT BLENDS WELL

• Use a non-stick pan/kadhai to stir-fry veggies in broth instead of oil. Its good taste and good health at one go.
• Boil or bake instead of frying. Other options are steaming, grilling, barbecuing and microwaving. Grilling and roasting also let fats drip away,
• Avoid reusing oil that’s already been used for frying (yes, even puris).
• Always remove the skin from poultry and trim the fat from meat. Leaner meats are often tougher than fatty cuts, though. So use marinades to tenderise. Replace traditional, fatty oil marinades with low-fat yoghurt.
• Heating oils causes them to oxidise, creating free radicals that are harmful to your health. So don’t heat oils for any longer than necessary.
• Never heat oils to smoking point.
