Zero Oil South Indian Cook Book

By Bimal Chhajer and Dr Bimal Chhajer

The Malabar Coast in the south is famous for its spices of pungent aromas, that lured many foreign invaders like the Dutch, the French and the English. Rice is the staple food for the people of the four states of South Indian. The very mentioning of the name of South India, particularly Tamil Nadu, brings to one's mind the taste of Idlis, Dosas Sambhar and Vadas. But there are more than these that can treat your taste buds.
Oils or Triglycerides make about 99% of the fats that we consume in our food. Researches in the last twenty years have shown that Triglycerides are equally responsible for creating heart diseases, when compared to Cholesterol. In the last fifty years we considered only Cholesterol whenever we wanted to prevent heart diseases and thus all oil companies used to sell oils as "Zero Cholesterol Oil"- whereas they were full of fats or Triglycerides. Oils also have a very high calorie content and thus lead to obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure.
In this modern era when people have sedentary lifestyles, suffer from excessive stress, and are prone to lifestyle diseases, we should avoid intake of oils. The best and the minimum possible is "Zero". Thus the Zero Oil Thali. The Zero Oil recipes are equally tasty and more healthy. In fact, almost all the recipes can be made without using oil, as explained in this book. Tell me, "Do you need Oil or Taste?"
