A much requested video on 'BEST COOKING OILS in INDIA' is here. I hope this video will help you choose the right kind of cooking oil for you and your family. Take care everyone!
The Best way is to practice using all kinds of oils/ ghee in your diet , Making different dishes in a different oil each time changes the taste and also provides the necessary nutrition, and you're not depending on one single cooking medium. So make certain veggies in groundnut oil, some in mustard, ghee chapatis and Dals etc , salads in olive oil , parathas in Til oil ...That way you can enjoy a different taste and variety and nutritional benefits... Important point you mentioned is the Region from where one hails must stick to their own traditional cooking medium...But do know that Cold pressed oils in india are Expelled with a lot of Wax , gums and fatty acids and should therefore be used with caution and control, That is the reason they cannot be stored for long. I am a Qualified Chemical engineer specialist in Fats n oils and have put up over 600 oil extraction and plants and Refineries all over India. Best regards.
And Nirupama don’t care about the number of views, just keep going with your content, constantly improving. Trust me people really want this, genuine knowledge from a certified expert , especially in the Indian context. Keep going. You rock !
@@AbhishekSingh-bi1ph thanks. She needs to say that she has a PHD in nutrition everytime on the videos, otherwise, they think that she copies from books or media. That is life. If we have strong points about us, we have to let people know so they can trust us. It is not bragging. It is information.
Finally someone is spreading right information on RU-vid, otherwise log kuch bhi bakwas gyan dekar video bana dete hai. I think we need more peaple like her . Even I am using all these oils and fats from past ten years with no problem
What does it mean under-rated,? How did you find that out. Please teach me. When i watch a channel, i do not go by public opinion. I go by the truth and by the energy that i feel from that channel. I feel relaxed and happy watching her because she looks healthy, happy and kind. This channel does not inflict fear, worry about health to the viewers like some other health channels.
True these all oil are best. I m from south part of India. Our traditionally cooking is basically in coconut oil. But any other cooking like northern or western type cooking i use groundnut oil
Thanks for the info...Groundnut is also called peanut/ moongfali. I mix 2 oils ( high smoke/ low smoke) along with some ghee for best cooking results.🙏
This is good stuff and a great video - I was once shocked when an Indian mate of mine told me that the ‘traditional’ oil he used to cook was peanut (groundnut) oil. I had a good laugh - peanuts originate from the Americas and aren’t traditional in India, plus the oil shouldn’t be used to cook, I’d say. Wheat flour, peanuts, and peanut oil became popular in India as cheap imports from the USA back in the 1950s-60s. Back then ₹1=$2. I use virgin coconut oil, ghee, cold-pressed mustard oil, virgin olive oil and cold-pressed rice bran oil in my cooking. Please make more videos like this - I hope all my Indian brethren start eating good stuff. Greetings from Oz 🇦🇺
Wheat and peanut have been grown in India since a very long time. They are not imports from the west. On the contrary, bloody english people from west looted India, Africa, and many asian countries of all the wealth and made themselves rich.
Peanut oil is used almost daily by about 50% of Indian population. That is the only oil we knew growing up in India. My family has several members that lived to late 90s or 80s depending on village or city lifestyle. Mostly vegetarian and occasional non-veg. Lifestyle has more to do with health than these oils to be honest. A sedentary lifestyle in cities with other habits are more harmful than foods we eat. Peanut oil seems to be the best option. Of course diet should include all kinds of food that do not require preparation with oils. I personally use a mix of ghee, coconut and peanut oils. We should refrain from bold arguments for or against and stress healthy lifestyle along with the food choices. Active lifestyle will offset most of these small deleterious effects of foods.
Also i came to know from a comment ki u r a certified nutrition specialist 🤩 plz put this in ur intro 🙏 mujhe laga pehle ki aap bhi bas article padh k aur net surf karke video banate
Very well said. I love the Word Time Tested. Refined cooking oils may lack of phytonutrients but they are mostly odorless and a few like Palm Oil is very stable for frying. Palm Oil very stable generally at repeated frying. Olive oils are not good at frying yet when we follow any European cooking program we can see very clearly that they only emphasize very little about deep frying. But the word Olive Oil will be repeated many many times while the cooking as it is the Main Ingredient and the Magic of the recipe. Please don't fall for it. We need the amount of oils base on life styles , where we live , cheapest best oils which locally produced and the cooking methods.
Groundnut oil tastes bit sweet, good for raw mixing in dough for chapati. I am used to mustard oil, brought groundnut oil once for taste change. I feel mustard tastes best for north Indian cooking.
Hi Nirupama, Safflower oil, cold pressed safflower oil also used on large scale in western India, specially Maharashtra. It has numerous benefits, just wanted to let you know..
It's the first watch of your video mam and very much impressed by your detailed explanation. Please continue to make such useful videos to educate people like us...Tq so much...God bless you...
Very informative!! You are a knowledgeable person. You are doing a fantastic job. Thank you for sharing and educating all of us. Best wishes for your excellent work. Keep it up!
Very informative, thank you! Please keep up your good work! I hope your knowledge will enlighten many. Sadly nowadays people prefer unhealthy food. I am sure watching your research and videos people will change to healthy lifestyle. Take care!
Hi Nirupama, Nice video on this topic. Thanks for the information. It would be nice if you can say Namaste during the beginning or at the end of the video. When you say bye, it sounds like you are we will never see you.
Thank you very much.. The video is made in such a way where we get all query answered.. Also you are not confusing after stating few facts.. Thank you for your research..
Marvelous, well studied and informative video. If i may add mustard oil is rich in omega 3 & 6 as well, which is quite beneficial going with the latest medical studies.
Well researched video.. very informative & useful for our daily life cooking as oil plays a vital role in our health condition.. thanks for all ur efforts.
Excellent very very informative can you please recommend good authentic reputed trusted brands in India for the best cold pressed cooking oils and also I just remember another thing is this are these cold pressed oils suitable for the Indian style deep frying like pakodas etc etc etc can you please make another informative videos about this please 🙏
My choice will be Pure Ghee made in traditional way is best for health and quick energy. This is followed by Raw Oils. Best if cold pressed-but they are hazy, low shelf life and sold at very high price as the makers are not able to work out economics of De-oiled cake. Raw oils have all natural nutrients, proteins and Anti-oxidants intact. You can always buy oil in small lots. One catch is Raw or cold pressed oils have their natural odour and taste which can interfere in the final cooked product taste and flavour. Refined Oils are safe to use as they are heat treated under vacuum. But all natural nutrients are sucked out. So if one is looking at bland taste and odour in the final recipe, then refined oil is a better option. Best way is to keep changing oil and use them in tandem as every oil will have its unique benefit to our health. I can answer any questions as I am from Oil Technology background.
Really appreciable content. First time seeing someone telling very true facts and not saying something which our rotten media and advertising world shows us in order to make money. Keep posting and best wishes for you and your channel. This was the first time I saw your video and subscribed 👍🏻👍🏻
Must say an excellent video amongst various paid video propagating Olive oils, market known refined oils.. Just that Cold pressed Mustard oil range anywhere between 260 - 350 or even higher.. As making of cold-pressed are costlier 3 Kg of mustard seeds gives one litre of Mustard Oil. Again brilliant information and please make video of Rice Bran Oil which a as per my research again is not good and so is Mineral oil.
I'm orginally bengali I grew up being used in cocunut and mustard oil thanks for information I can not stand the smell of ghee this is the only one I cant stand today I find out today its superfood which hard to get used to it
If you use A2 desi cow milk fr making ghee - it won't smell. Prepare ghee in the traditional "bilona method". A1 hybrid Jersey cow ghee smells sometime.
Thank you for the great content of the video. I’m new to using cold pressed mustard oil for cooking; I’ve noticed that when I fry the chopped onion in the cold pressed mustard oil, it becomes kind of foamy which makes it hard to see if the onion is getting burnt or not. And the fried onion doesn’t become crispy for Birishta. I would appreciate any tips that you can share.
I have recently subscribed to you seeing the in-depth knowledge that you have. Could you suggest the brand name of the coconut oil to use for cooking. Thanks so much
Also must be grass fed cow's milk! Not harmone enriched animal feeds, which many farmers are using! Dairy products from these cattle are messing up with our health, seriously.
Very true, use traditional oils which are time tested. I used olive oil daily (3 tbsp) for almost a year then the Dr told me I got fatty liver on annual checkup. I don't know what had caused this but I suspect olive oil since that is the only change in my diet. I read in many articles it's very good for health but it did no good for me I suspect.
Olive oil is good for health . Extra virgin should not be overheated. Maybe try changing your cooking method before changing the oil. Its just a suggestion.
one concern, you mentioned cold pressed mustard oil for 150/- per litre. I am sorry its wrong. Fortune kacchi ghani oil comes at this cost, but its not kacchi ghani truly. If you turn the packet its written "its just a brand name and doesn't preserves its true nature".
