India is a land of spices and variations. Especially in North India, we use Sarson ka tel (mustard oil) for almost everything from making tea to frying things.
I know it's really tasty and makes anything yummy but Sarson ka tel isn't healthy. It has a high amount of Oleic acid which increases the bad LDL cholesterol and decreases the good HDL cholesterol. Soon it can lead to heart problems such as cardiac arrest, heart attack etc.
So here are 12 ways to make your cooking oil last longer:
1.It is very important that when you buy Sarson Ka Tel it should be cold pressed so don't forget to sieve it properly before using it. Sieve it twice or thrice to get rid of the residue present at bottom
2. Ensure that you buy Sarson ka tel which is light yellow in color because if Sarson Ka Tel is dark brown then beware it has been made using old seeds and a process known as 'Groverization' which makes the oil toxic for the body.
3. While buying Sarson Ka Tel ensure that it should be cold pressed (preferably organic) other wise agar sarson ka tel hota hai toh machine ki seal hone wala hai aur jo bhi seal hone wali hai unhe agar uska amount kam nahi hota tab tak toxins bahar nikalta hai aur umeed karta hai Sarson Ka Tel pure hona.
4. Sarson ka tel is really heavy so it should be stored at room temperature and while using Sarson Ka Tel, make sure that oil remains on the bottom otherwise if Sarson ka tel is left for a long time in the open then it becomes more toxic.
5. Especially during winter season Sarson Ka Tel becomes thicker due to cold weather conditions so keep on stirring it after adding to pan or wok until you see a thin coat of oil on top which shows its consistency has increased now so no need to worry about harmful effects of Sarson Ka Tel.
6. Always try to buy Sarson ka tel in small quantities, in the open market but in an air tight container so that oil remains fresh for a longer period of time.
7. Sarson Ka Tel is very heavy so always pour Sarson Ka Tel in your pan or wok from height to ensure air bubbles don't form when Sarson Ka Tel is poured into the pan.
8. Especially if you are using Sarson Ka Tel for making tea then add little water to it which will help Sarson Ka Tel to get rid of toxins and remain fresh for a longer period of time.
9. Specially during winters (in North India) we keep on adding more spices while cooking things like Chole or Rajma etc… this makes Sarson Ka Tel more thicker and Sarson Ka Tel becomes more heavy due to spices so add Sarson ka tel slowly (drop by drop) while cooking things like chana or rajma.
10. Especially during winters if you are using Sarson Ka Tel for making tea then make sure Sarson Ka Tel remains on the bottom of the pan, boil it for minimum 3 minutes otherwise Sarson ka tel can burst anytime because its very heavy.
11. Specially during winters keep checking Sarson Ka Tel every 5-7 minutes otherwise Sarson Ka Tel can become toxic before you know it. So This is tip is only for those people who live in North India where temperature goes really low during winters so better be on safer side and Specially during winters Sarson Ka Tel remains on the bottom of pan so keep stirring it after adding Sarson ka tel to pan or wok.
12. Specially when Sarson Ka Tel is not in use then always add little oil to it, add little water also if you want but add oil only when Sarson ka tel becomes thick rather than adding water which breaks Sarson ka tel. Also put a lid after adding oil to ensure that when Sarson Ka Tel cools down completely toxins remains in the pan and doesn't come out in open otherwise Sason Ka Tel can become toxic in open even without cooking anything.
13. Specially during summer time Sarson Ka Tel becomes more loose in consistency so add Sarson ka tel in pan or wok very slowly because Sarson Ka Tel is very heavy (refer point 8) and don't forget to stir Sarson Ka Tel for longer period of time while cooking anything because Sason ka tel is not in use it may burst anytime due to air bubbles.
14. Specially closeness with hot oil can be dangerous, when Sarsons are cooked the smell of sarry fumes are dangerous for health, keep children away from kitchen when making tea with sarsons.
