The war really was about oil!

Too much politics around the world for thr control of world oil!

My problem is not oil outside the home but my cooking oil! Which one is safe and healthy? Food tastes so much better cooked in oil.

Olive and avocado oil are the best some say! But my taste buds just said no to them!

Grew up in a household that cooked in coconut, sesame and sunflower oil. I maintained the same. My husband’s dad said they used ground nut oil! I am still considering it.

That said, my favorite one of all is thr sesame oil. I love the taste! The smell is so good and I enjoy cooking with it!

Yes, that is what we used this week for our cooking video. We made our famous vatha kuzhambu or spicy sauce with brinjal simmered in this sesame oil. It is also called Nalla ennai. Nalla means good and ennai is oil! The right amount adds the flavor to the sauce and tastes so good with rice.

Two months, I have been consistent in cooking with my son and making videos! Touchwood we keep the streak on.
