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 the‘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.
Add the pork sausages cut into small pieces along with chopped garlic and cook, turning every minute or two, until nice and brown on all sides
Add some dried sage and parsley and toss it for a few more minutes. Take them out of the pan.
Add a few prawns to the oil and stir fry them for a few minutes.
Serve 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.

ur hubby cooks magic is it- why not start a food blog shilpa ?
March 2, 2013 7:28 am|
Yes, he cooks really well! Food blog… that’s an idea now! Thanks 🙂
February 26, 2013 1:48 pm|
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.

Do you cook sometimes, Anil??
True, the idea is to enjoy good food, and if it packed with health and wellness, nothing like it! 🙂
March 2, 2013 11:54 am|
Oh ye , I cook . Began doing so even while in my teens. Love it now because it is a stress buster and out of necessity too.
March 4, 2013 1:26 pm|
Wow! That’s wonderful! KG also considers cooking as a stress buster!!

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!
March 2, 2013 7:39 am|
Thanks Ma’am. No, when my husband is cooking, I help in the kitchen. He takes the center stage then! 🙂 I have made peace with the mess he creates, so it’s a win-win situation now! Thanks, glad you liked the presentation 🙂

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 🙁
March 2, 2013 7:44 am|
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! 🙂
February 28, 2013 4:08 am|
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.
March 2, 2013 7:46 am|
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! 😀
March 1, 2013 4:31 pm|
I am a vegetarian and so cannot comment much about the recipes 😀 But yeah, rice bran oil seems to be a healthy choice indeed!
March 2, 2013 7:50 am|
Yeah, Rice Bran Oil seems to be good, food does not absorb much oil when frying too!
March 2, 2013 7:05 am|
Ahh I am drooling now!! nice review post!
March 2, 2013 7:50 am|
