HARYALI KOFTA CURRY

Hi friends this post is about Hudson canola oil. I received a gift hamper from this company with a booklet of delicious and innovative dishes. i make this healthy dish from the book with little changes. i never use canola oil but as mention the properties of Hudson canola oil i am impressed it is ditributed byDalmia CONTINETAL PVT LTD AND AVAIBLE N BIG STORES

I like the logo very much
YOU CAN NOT CHANGE YOUR BODY BUT YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR OIL.
the benefits of this oil as compare to others oil mention in the leaflet are----
1-very high(second highest) content of MUFAwhich reduces the bad cholesterol.high BP
2very high content of Omega-3
3-benificial2;1 content raio of omega 6 PUFAto omega 3.
4-great source of vitamin E,antioxidant
5 and last one of the highest smoking point point of all culinary oil.
as Indian cooking is mostly fried dishes .when we cook any veg we fry the masala as olive oil is best but i think we fried more  olive oil reduces its values as in foreign countries there dishes are cooked in microwave or used as it is.but Indian cooking is not like this so i am of the opinion if get the same benefits in less price then why we can not use this hudson canola oil. i think we have to look into this and must try this oil.
here in this dish i used canola oil and taste is yum
so friends must use this oil and get the health benefit's
