Oil Matters ft. Swetha Sivakumar

Naan Curry with Sadaf and Archit

In this episode, our 2Gs, the Gourmands & Geeks - Sadaf and Archit are joined by Swetha Sivakumar - food researcher, industrial engineer and Hindustan Times columnist. They discuss:

• How were refined oils born?

• What are Saturated, Mono-Unsaturated (MUFA) and Polyunsaturated (PUFA) fats ?
• How should we read labels on a product and why it is important?

Sit back and relax, fry some pakoda or mill some fresh oil for yourself while our 2Gs drill deep for some interesting oil trivia so that you don’t have to.
