Less Oil Any type of oil or fat will help the body absorb
fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), and make
sex hormones. But moderating intake of fat in
general, and some types in particular, is
important.
The general advice is that fats and oils should
make up no more than about 33 per cent of
our daily calorie intake. For men, that's 95g,
for women 70g. In terms of oil, it's 7
tablespoons for a man, 5 for a woman.
This is a sincere attempt to write about the traditional
Tamil Brahmins (Tam-Brahm) recipes.
This newsletter will contain the recipes of the food that
are typically cooked in a Tamil Brahmin community (Iyer
& Iyengar or any Brahmin community).
There is an old saying that goes like this You are what
you eat and Brahmin Cuisine follows the concept of
shaping the personality, mood and mind of the family
members.

Tips & Tricks
Writeup on Oil less and Less Oil cooking Bagavathi Hari * ALWAYS FRY ingredients with least oil, in low flames.
* For our dry powder ( molagapodi, parupu podi, dania podi, jeera podi etc in oven
only) By this oilconsumed is very less and while grinding each powder, a drop of oil added
in mixie container is enough.
* If done in kadai, dry roast in low flames, till u get the colour and later while
grinding just a drop of oil added into the mixie jar is quiet enough.
* EVERY DAY we do seasonning and garnishing, for which daily oil is used. To
reduce the consumption, always Heat spoon of oil, add four spoons of musturd and 8 spoons of ud dal and 6 cut red chillies, fry golden brown, put off flames, cool and
store in small box/ tupperwear container. This lasts for almost four days, and every
day adding oil can be avoided.
By practising this, We can c that we use only a spoon of oil in place of 6 or 8
spoons.
* MUSTURD AND UD DAL can be spluttered in empty kadai and used dry, after
storing it in a container. *It can also be dry heated in oven( in high for 3mnts) and used
* For vazai fry either can be done in oven or in kadai, after sprinkling watee every 3
mnts, in lowerflames.
* For potatoe, sepan kazangu fry, marinating them after peeling skin, mixing few
spoons of basin, chllie powder salt and haldi with water, keeping aside for 20mnts
and then frying on a low heat , helps to consume less oil. * ROti dough has to be mixed in a slow process, beating the dough here and then.
Not even a single drop of oil is need to be added.while making rotis out of this,
spread evenly, not too thin, so that rotis bulge and we get soft onea in two layers.
* Menu prepared, should be in sucha way that daily consuption of oil is noted and
evenly spread througout a week.
* Childrens hav to be encouraged to eat more salads and sundals to avoid oil.
