You have probably had it without knowing every time you have had a meal in any Middle Eastern or Asia restaurants. It does have health benefits (or so they say).
I've found it a bit heavy on the stomach. Perhaps it's my age but I can't comfortably eat Indian food, currys and the like, after about 6pm, I'm up half the night with indigestion.
I try to make everything low calorie, low sugar, low salt, my hobbies don’t really tolerate being a fat ****, so I’m on a permanent fat fighting mission.
We always have ghee in and use it in a lot of Indian cooking. Not sure it's vital for an authentic taste, but if that's how it should be done, why not.
I don’t have sugar, milk, bread and try to avoid processed foods. I’m fat and a ****. I am after a new hobby or sport. My doctor asked what I would do if I didn’t scuba dive and I told him I was looking at buying a rifle. Maybe I should have said deer stalking instead!
Yes I do. It’s got a much higher burning point so lasts longer and is much better for you than the seed oils that I have seen. I will be using g it with my food when I decide which way I’m going. I think it depends which brand you buy. I get one in Tesco (booo) which I really like and I would say this one has a more buttery taste. I got one out of Lidl once and I didn’t really like it, so I think it can depend on the brand like anything else. But I highly recommend it and you don’t need as much. Cooks better and better flavour and healthier imo.
I am not on a health kick or anything but I have started having kefir yogurt as part of my breakfast. It started when I was in Sweden and the closest I could get here was kefir. Mind you I have also gained a passion for lumpfish caviar! Love it on boiled eggs!!
No idea if it does or not, but as a huge generalisation, the Indian population arent very healthy with regards to heart and diabetes conditions. I don't often eat Indian food, but I do know that ghee ****s up your kitchen extraction fan and ventilation channels... I rented my flat in the UK to an Indian couple and they had to pay for industrial cleaning of it afterwards, due to ghee coating the inside of the pipes.
