The New Oil in Our Kitchen

KG, my best half has a passion for cooking. He creates amazing magic in the kitchen, never mind the mess he creates though. His free time is spent either in kitchen cooking something or watching the cookery shows. Rice Bran Oil is frequently used by international cookery show chefs. This was something that has still not made its entry in our kitchen.When I read about theβ€˜Fortune Rice Bran Health’ review at Blogadda. I immediately jumped at the opportunity to experiment with it in our kitchen and see how it turns out to be.Last Sunday, KG prepared Fried Pork Frankfurters and Prawns for breakfast.

In a pan, add a tiny drizzle of Fortune Rice Bran Oil.

DSC_0753Add some dried sage and parsley and toss it for a few more minutes. Take them out of the pan.
DSC_0758Add a few prawns to the oil and stir fry them for a few minutes.
DSC_0764Serve them with mustard or chilli sauce.

In the evening, KG also made, Chicken Curry with Rice Bran Oil which looked like this…

I have used Rice Bran Oil in cooking vegetables and even made paranthas with it. We use Fortune Refined Soyabean Oil for our regular cooking. And KG uses Ghee or Mustard Oil for the non-veg cooking. After cooking food with Fortune Rice Bran Oil, there was not any noticeable difference in taste and smell when compared with our regular oil. In fact, KG who is very particular about the tastes and flavours and is quick to note any difference, said that food cooked in Rice Bran Oil tastes no different than our regular oil. It has no virtually no smell.

Also the health benefits associated with Rice Bran Oil, chiefly in decreasing cholesterol, protecting from heart diseases, cleaning blood vessels, enhancing immune system and nervous system and it being good for skin, are convincing enough to switch from our regular oil to Rice Bran Oil.

Cost wise also it is similar to our regular oil. Soybean Oil costs Rs 110 for a litre while Rice Bran Oil costs Rs 115 per litre.

So for cooking for frying, Fortune Rice Bran Oil is the new oil in our kitchen.

  1. Tempting .Lucky you.
    Not that I do not have my share of luck, C is a good cook in her own right too.
    By the way as you would know oil is oil and even the highly recommended Olive oil breaks down when heated and produces the wrong kind of lipids that are unhealthy. So it is wise to just forget about low cholesterol and triglycerides and enjoy the frankfurter fries and shrimps.

  2. Oooooooh ! So this is what we missed ! Shacks ! U need to invite us again ! Better still please keep these prawns n sausages stocked !We’ll just drop in!! Am sure my hubby will go crazy on the food !!!
    Lovely from the looks of it !!!

  3. You are lucky Shilpa. Your Husband helped you in the kitchen. Oh, ya messing up is natural when hubby enters the kitchen. Very tempting chicken curry! Excellent presentation!

    1. Thanks Ma’am. No, when my husband is cooking, I help in the kitchen. He takes the center stage then! πŸ™‚ I have made peace with the mess he creates, so it’s a win-win situation now! Thanks, glad you liked the presentation πŸ™‚

  4. Wow…lucky you..you have a husband who cooks…’S’ wouldn’t touch a spoon. Rice Bran oil, never heard of it..should give it a try. I normally use olive oil for cooking and vegetable or sun flower oil for deep fry. Food looks yummy, but I started on Vegan πŸ™

    1. When a husband cooks, its a boon and a bane too. Boon… that you get to eat good food without any effort! Bane… the mess that is created after the good food is cooked results in doubling of the efforts to clean it! So, you are lucky too! Try it, you’ll like it! πŸ™‚

  5. Wow! It is plated artistically!! We use the sunflower oil saffola, and the cooking medium is also til oil (sesame) for traditional food. Maybe i will try this once.even my husband and for that matter the whole family ( my 16 year old dot and 13 year old son) too cook.

    1. Wow, the whole family is into cooking, that’s simply awesome. I am waiting for Aaryan to grow up. He is also interested in cooking. So both the men of the house can raid the kitchen while I sit and enjoy! πŸ˜€
