Oil and Women...they don't mix...

[Sojourn]

In my opinion a good curry needs oil - sometimes a fair bit.

My missus on the other hand thinks that oil is the stuff of the devil, anyone else have experience in making the fairer sex chow down on the 'Rogan'?

Everybody's gone low fat mad in my opinion

Just stir it in and she might not notice

No problems in this household, Soj : we cook most things in beef dripping (apart from pancakes, which we cook in lard), so the half-litre or so of oil in one of my normal Madras's is healthy by comparison :-)

I've managed to get away with it thus far by patiently explaining that because the density of water, which is 1.00 g/m, is greater than oil (around 0.91 to 0.93 g/cm3, depending on temperature), the exact quantity of oil added will always rise to the surface, where it can be skimmed off to leave a virtually fat-free curry.

Of course, I know this is a little bit of a white lie, but as I remarked to a mate of mine as we browsed the latest Jacamo catalogue the other day, it's worked for me....

Tell her you will try using Veg Ghee instead and that it's basically just crushed vegetables and you think it's one of your 5 a day Maybe she will even believe you!
