Yes Oils can be healthy as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_bran_oil

Rice bran oil is rich in vitamin E, γ-oryzanol (an antioxidant that may help prevent heart attacks[4]), and phytosterols (compounds believed to help lower cholesterol absorption[5][6]), which may provide associated health benefits.

So some oils including olive oil as well actually reduce cholesterol.

A little on Ghee as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghee

Butter Ghee is saturated fats, BUT it has been shown to reduce cholesterol in rat studies as well, where as vegetable ghee is just hydrogenated vegetable oil which has been shown to be very unhealthy. Vegetable Ghee has been shown to cause a rise in LDL cholesterols.

So although wikipedia is not strictly the most accurate source of information sometimes, but the information within there is backed up by reference sources.

So give me Butter Ghee over vegetable ghee, but used in small quantities along with healthy oils.

butter ghee is actually healthier than vegetable ghee as far as I am aware.

for 2lb worth of chicken - i.e 5 portions in my cooking 5 table spoons is not much of the white wine vinegar in my opinion. I use slightly more - 100ml when I make up enough vindaloo paste for 4 portions. And I will be brutally honest.. there was a few times I used the paste for 4 portions in just one double portion of curry... I just do what I feel like most of the time  ;D

because rice bran oil is very healthy. low in saturated fats. high smoke point. does not have a strong flavour. lowers cholesterol. and just a touch of butter ghee to add a little added depth to the flavour.

looks like my vindaloo.. although its cooking it more traditional style rather than BIR style.

I have a strange situation.....

My chile seeds would not grow.... now somehow some chile seeds got mixed up
in a pot which I was growing basil in.

The basil has started growing like hell... and 4 chile seedlings have sprouted
in amoung the basil!!!

Can these be salvaged into their own pots or anything?
