Beware Of Maids Who Love Cooking Oil
Today I realized why I had packed in extra pounds over a few months. I've been eating the same food, staying away from sugar and yet my jeans have become tight. The culprit is my stupid maid! I walked into the kitchen while she was cooking and was told the oil was finished. Finished? But I just bought oil a week back and we don't eat deep fried stuff.
I peeked into the wok and saw bits of onions swimming in oil and I mean like ten table spoons of oil. My heart came to a standstill. I screamed- You are killing us!!! SO MUCH OIL!!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!
She replied- But lemon rice is tasty only when there is so much oil.
I tried to keep my calm- Damn village babe has no concept of health or nutrition!!
I explained to her about heart attacks and making people FAT!
She removed one tablespoon of oil and I wanted to remove her from my kitchen. I looked at the oil in disgust and walked off.
She has been demoted to being a helper in the kitchen.
Never ever again will she cook for my family.

Moral of the story : 'Swasth khao tan man jagao' :)

That is a hilarious post.
I must say I see the other side of the story. I have friends who asked their maid to cut down on the oil and promptly started lambasting her for not making tasty food.
The maid responded by using extra spices. Now the food was too spicy!
Moral of the story: you can't live with oil and you can't live without it.

We are the low spice, low oil and low salt kinda of family and my maid is the exact opposite.

Be happy its not ghee! There was this guy in my dad's office who;d come be our cook when our usual cook was away on holiday - he made the best food in the world... as long as you didn't mind a nice thick layer of ghee floating on top of everything; curries, sabzi, chicken, whatever was made.

Well I don't think you can expect to ezt healthy food unless you are gonna cook yourself.
