Right out of the Tawa, hot and tempting Roti with a splash of ghee is something we as Indians absolutely love to eat. It is indeed interesting how much ghee can enhance the taste and aroma of simple food items like roti, khakhra, dal-rice and many more such Indian dishes. While Indian home-cooked food is incomplete without the presence of ghee in it, it is also one of the most healthy and nutritious items to consume, no questions asked! Did you know that ghee makes for an absolute fantastic substitute for butter? Yes, you read that right! Now you can cook delicious food and still make it healthy.

Cooking oils when consumed right are extremely healthy and beneficial. They also help in preparing food by amplifying the flavor and texture of the food, adding crispiness to baked items and conducting heat while cooking. Cooking oils are found to have healthy fats like Monounsaturated fats (MUFA’s) and Polyunsaturated fats (PUFA’s) which help reduce bad cholesterol as against Trans fats which are bad for your cholesterol levels. Cooking oils make a major source of energy for the body due to high calories therefore the right proportion can prove super beneficial.
