Thank you Ally, I looked yesterday, the recipe is not on the website and I'd deleted our recording!

I just googled Eat Well For Less Biryani Di and got the recipe there. It says to start with rapeseed oil but I just used a wee bit of vegetable oil.

I obviously wasn't very with it Ally!

It says to start with rapeseed oil but I just used a wee bit of vegetable oil.

Is that not the same thing?

I know you get sunflower oil but I always though vegetable oil is rapeseed oil? What is it made of otherwise? One learns something new every day

[Ally]

I had to google Ria as I had no idea and yes rapeseed is a vegetable oil.

I learnt something new today.

Rapeseed oil is usually labelled just as vegetable oil in the UK, however, it can be a blend so read the label.

The heart people were very strongly of the opinion that for those of us with heart problems the only cooking / salad dressing oils we should us are olive or rapeseed.

[Ally]

That's useful information Frank, thanks. x

[Workingman]

Thanks Ally. Sunflower oil was OK as a less used substitute, but we were warned off things like peanut, palm and coconut oils.

A sprinkle of nut oils such as sesame or hazelnut were OK for flavouring.

It's a bit of a minefield.

Is it ok to use olive oil for this recipe please? I use it for everything and dont really want to buy something else for one thing
