‘Join the olive oil resolution with Chef Kunal’ – Fabulous information about olive oil shared by Chef Kunal

A chilly winter evening did not
hamper a fantastic cook out session with the renowned chef, Kunal Kapur, the
dashing judge from Masterchef India. The benefits of olive oil and an increased
awareness of its properties was the main highlight that afternoon.
Le meridian hosted
the event where the culinary expert focused on the main aspect of cooking with
olive oil.

With the Indian palette more accustomed
to cooking with several oils making mustard oil the most consumed one, Chef
Kunal and Nutritionist Ms. Seema emphasized on the benefits of healthy eating
with olive oil. Although the oil is heavily priced, but the price of good
healthy heart is priceless.

Olive Oil is ideal for cooking,
be it Indian or continental. It is perfect in the preparation of salads and
desserts and can even resist high temperatures making it easier to create a
thin, golden and crunchy coating, preventing the food from absorbing oil. This
feature makes it ideal for cooking Indian dishes without changing the taste and
texture of the dish.

According to Chef Kunal Kapoor “There
are many reasons for joining the most delicious and the healthiest revolution
in history! A revolution that began thousands of years ago and that has reached
us today to give a new, delicious touch of flavor to all our favorite recipes
will help us discover more such recipes.”

Nutritionist Seema Singh says
“During a child’s first years, the energy requirement is very high. Some of the
energy consumed comes from fat, either in milk, essential in childhood, or from
other types of fat. Olive Oil is one of the most healthy Oils, it is rich in
antioxidants and beneficial substances, it has a high nutritional value and
helps prevent and fights against many diseases.

Olive Oil better withstands high
temperatures and is very stable due to its Oleic Acid. Any oil, unless it has a
very strong flavor is suitable for Indian food. Olive Oils don’t have any
distinct flavor of their own, so is ideal as a cooking medium for all kinds of
Indian foods. It helps in retaining taste along with fresh. If used regularly,
the consumption of monounsaturated fats that lowers cholesterol will help
prevent cardiovascular diseases and may reduce the risk of some cancers.
Therefore, it is recommended to use Olive Oil for Indian cooking.

Chef later demonstrated his
cooking expertise while preparing a chicken kabab and a green leafy salad with
fruits.The dishes prepared with olive
oil glistened with health and tasted better than the regular dishes made with
any other oil. The crunchiness of the salads elevated the taste quotient while
the juices of the fruits in the salad tasted scrumptious.
