Fortune Rice Bran Health Oil

'Fortune Rice Bran Health' Oil Capsicum – Onion – Ridgegourd – Potato - Tulsi Bajji

Changing cooking oil to mothers or Mother-in-laws is almost like changing age old tradition. It’s always a no-no. I am not sure if this is a boon or a bane but that generation, on an average resists Change. What makes it hard is not the change itself, but our tendency to want to hold on to the unchanged

In spite of having that resistance, I requested MIL to use 'Fortune Rice Bran Health' oil in her day to day kitchen life. It’s just an experiment I said, and she nodded.

After experimenting on the dishes that require minimal oil, and not able to find out the difference, Pati’s hungry tummy on the eve of Trade Union Bandh suggested Bajji. Can a mother ever say no to son’s taste buds? Never.

Thus the below happened.

Cooking Time: Depends what soap is on the TV

Serves: Hungry people

you need:

1 large onion

1 large Capsicum

½ Ridge Gourd – washed and skin peeled

1 large potato

20 Tulsi Leaves – Washed and dried with dry cloth

3/4 cup of Besam (gram flour)
1/2 tsp of red chilli powder

1 spoon Rice flour
1 tsp of salt (adjust to taste)
1/4 tsp of soda powder

¼ tsp Turmeric powder

2-3 cups of 'Fortune Rice Bran Health' oil, for deep frying, make sure the frying pan is 3/4^th full 

How to:

1. Peel, wash, and cut the onion/potato/ridge gourd into thick rings. Capsicum needs to be cut lengthwise

 

2. Rest of the stuff needs to be mixed to a batter consistency not too thick or not too watery; just right to coat the vegetable and hold on instead of dripping.  

 

3. Heat oil until it just begins to smoke. Lower the flame to medium-low, dip the onion/potato/ridge gourd rings and capsicum into the batter to coat thoroughly and drop into the hot oil.

 

4. I am not sure about the time, but fry them till they turn golden brown. I was so scared to take the above pic btw, what if the mobile fell and became a bajji I thought.

Most of them ask you to serve with Mint chutney or Tomato Chutney. I’d say, just gulp them hot

 

The recipe is not done yet. Once all the vegetable are done, 90% of the time batter remains. It is either thrown away or refrigerated. Health wise not recommended at all.

This is when Tulsi leaves come into picture. Add Tulsi leaves to the batter and repeat the process of smearing each leaf with batter and dropping into oil. These cook very quick hence be very careful to not burn these small tiny pieces of pakoras.

After frying we often use tissues to absorb the extra oil. Surprisingly this never happened in 'Fortune Rice Bran Health' oil case. The Bajjis did not drink oil and tasted very crispy. You can see that the tissue below the bajjis have no trace of oil at all.

They say this oil is 10/10 Orizynol

It will take a while to find out, but in 4 days of cooking MIL has decided to change her cooking oil that she has been using for 40yrs now, and also recommended few neighbors about the same. That indeed speaks volumes of the product.
