Did the mistake of telling my mom that and she's punishing me with the pheeki sambar since then.. anything refined is processed. Sugar and rice esp seem to get much more negative reviews related to refinement or polishing etc. There was this video that i saw abt hugh jackmans diet mantra.. His fitness trainer talks about getting as much nutrients as possible before a human touches it in anyway. Basic idea is any industrial processing makes the food toxic the whole organic industry is built on this. velu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilander Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 With unrefined sugar i wash it a bit or remove husk etc before use. But we have ditched sugar or sweeteners from coffee altogether. Rice and wheat.. God rice is the death of me. Qunioa in taste cant even hold a candle to lowest tasting low glycimic brown rice or wheat..no need to bring in jasmin rice or basmati etc. But somehow supposed to eat quinoa, how i dont know. I found pandan leaves and now make tolerable quinoa to be rice replacement once in a blue moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found pandan leaves and now make tolerable quinoa to be rice replacement once in a blue moon. I cook quinoa in a cooker and make biryani/upma/bisi bele baath with regular ingredients and masala. Quinoa powder mixed with rava, wheat germ and little jowar/maida to make regular Dosa. Doesn’t taste as much, but still much much better than eating plain or sambar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And eat with chetinad style fish curry ( salmon and lots of tamarind and garlic) lol.. I cook as wife is veg. Thats the only way i can stand quinoa. But will try dosai with quinoa.

BacktoCricaddict Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) The key to a long, healthy life with strong immune system to prevent Coronavirus is simple. Do this daily, twice a day if possible. - 1 glass of milk strictly from Alambadi or Malnad cow. - Add 4 tablespoons of pure manjal chaandu (turmeric paste, preferably from turmeric grown in Vaniyambadi) - Add 2 tablespoons of palm sugar (it has a lot of Calcium - as much as half a glass of milk). - Add 3 teaspoons of methi powder (methi is a superfood with phytochemicals, anti-cancer, anti-TB, anti-corona properties) - Add 1 teaspoon of pure camphor (camphor wards off viruses and bacterias, and some fungi too) - Warm in copper vessel on coal stove (stainless steel, LPG and microwave are Western conspiracies) - Pour into brass glass, hold with a cloth made of Tiruppur cotton and slurp slowly. Slow drinking helps boost the immune system. Here is an article that proves beyond a shred of doubt that this works.

BacktoCricaddict Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 When I see "synthetic" oil, I think of this. Can't believe people use them for cooking. No wonder we all have these health problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, there's really not much to choose between canola oil and olive oil. Both are rich in MUFA, but canola is richer in alpha-linolenic (a type of PUFA that is associated with better heart health). Bottom line: If you're only using for sauteeing and tempering in moderation, either one is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) I have no choice sadly, stuck with mess/canteen/restaurant food. Only things I myself make are boiled egg, milk, coffee, oats, maggi, jhal muri (mustard oil). So yeah only oil I buy is mustard oil (Fortune). Ghar mein my mom was dead against dalda, we never used to buy those pastries/cakes cos they use dalda instead of cream. That and palm oil, strictly no. Not sure of all oils but she would use sunflower, sesame (nalla ennai?), sometimes groundnut (generally avoided cos my dad didn't like its smell). Coconut oil for items like aviyal and dunno some Kerala dishes maybe. None of them pressed, in one of our houses we had a few coconut trees so then we used to press for coconut oil, no longer the case now. Yeah and ghee rocks, the crown jewel of our cuisine.
