Health care with taste & make tasty life:
Indian food is famous all over the world for its taste and nutrition. We like to eat Indian fried roasted Puris, Pakoras, Bhelpuris, Golgappas, Tikkis, Samosas, Kachoris or any of these dishes that are fried.
Not only this, most of our sweets are
not only full of sugar but are also fried. Gulab Jamun,
Jalebi, Bundi ladoos etc. are examples of this. Now the questions arises
that how should we maintain the specialty of our cooking and stay healthy?
We will try to give some
options in this article today:
Different methods of Frying:
First of all consider various methods of
frying, deep frying and light frying, whichever method you choose, be aware of
the condition of the oil while heating.
The most important thing is that when
the oil starts filling with smoke, it should be understood that it has become
completely hot, at this temperature chemical changes start to occur which can
be dangerous for health.
Cooking Without completely hot oil, a large part of
the oil absorbs in the food, as a result of which we get oily and unhealthy
food. This food increases the amount of fat in the body.
High oil temperature:
Keeping the oil at high temperature for
a long time causes it to deteriorate. It starts producing a substance called Acrolein which can be harmful to the stomach. The oil
which contains the amount of Acrolein starts to
become black and sticky. Usually this does not happen at the time of frying the
dishes in the houses, but as the oil is expensive, once used, we keep the
remaining oil for reuse. Frequent use of oil increases the amount of Acrolein.
Some experts believe that the oil should not
be kept for more than 15 minutes at the temperature of the
smoke, and everyone knows that it is too short for 4-5
members and a small family to fry the whole, while olive and corn oil can be
easily heated for a long time at high temperatures.
Sunflower oil, which is considered
beneficial for the heart, also causes harmful chemical changes by heating it
for a long time and at high temperatures. Vegetable cooking oils are considered
better for frying, as they are less harmful to the heart than butter and ghee.
The second problem arises when the oil
used is preserved under unsatisfactory conditions. Due to not preserving
sufficient amount of oil, it starts spoiling. For this reason, eat more fried
dishes sparingly, even if it is made at home.
This does not mean that we do not taste
fried dishes; some dishes like Tikkis can be
fried in both light and deep ways. In such a situation, you should choose a
light frying option; it will be good for health. Oil frying is also saved by
light frying and the problem of oil escape is also over.
Heat a little oil and add mustard,
lentils, curry leaves, chillies etc., to it and pour it in a dish is called
tempering. Tadka is not only used for fragrance
in dishes, but also contains nutrients.
Some vitamins like A, D, E and K are
soluble only in fat and it is also necessary to have some fat in food for its
absorption in human body. This matches our old tradition, like carrot can be
added with some oil, mustard and curry leaves in it to take full advantage of carotene from carrots.
There is another method of frying, in
which a small amount of oil is heated in a pan and thinly sliced vegetables,
seafood, chicken and meat, etc. are removed by stirring quickly in high heat.
In this way, high temperature and short cooking time maintains their nutritional
value and most of the vitamins and minerals are also safe. Chinese cuisine is
more popular in India, so it can be a good recipe, which we can also adopt in
our homes.
Finally remember that you can enjoy
fried foods, but eat limited amounts of fat. After frying the dishes, sieve the
excess oil thoroughly and place the fried food on brown paper, so that the
paper absorbs as much of its fat. This will not add fat to your body and will
not make you fat either. Rotis(Chapati) can be
eaten instead of Bhatoora. Papad can be baked on fire instead of frying it. Adopt
such methods. These small changes can be healthy.
