Healthy Cooking Oils for Indian Cuisine and Their Benefits
by Doctors's Choice Marketing Almost every Indian dish is incomplete with the use of cooking oil. In fact, the sizzle of oil as you add in the ingredients also completes the dish. If you have ever noticed, you’d see that every recipe includes lines such as, “heat the oil in a pan.” This is simply because oil is an ingredient that is just as necessary as every other ingredient.India is a land where various healthy cooking oils are produced due to their importance to cooking.
Each of these oils carries its own benefits. But one common factor is that every oil can amp up the taste of a dish. You can use oil for frying, sauteing or even just as a dressing over your favourite salad. For a subtly flavoured dish, you can use soybean oil for cooking. While a heavy flavoured dish could use the strong aroma of mustard oil.
Besides taste, the healthy cooking oils in India also help take care of your wellbeing. You might be quick to assume that your food is healthier without the oils, but that is unlikely. The right cooking oil used in the required amount can benefit your health greatly. For instance, cooking oils impart the necessary fatty acids your body needs.
