Dalda: It's Not Ghee

Naan Curry with Sadaf and Archit

In this episode, our 2Gs, the Gourmands & Geeks - Sadaf and Archit are going back in time to tell you about Dalda and vanaspati. Specifically, they discuss:

• What is Vanaspati? How is it different from ghee?
• How did the Dalda brand develop its market presence?
• How has the brand evolved?
• What is the hydrogenation of fat?
• Why is vanaspati harmful to your health?
• Why are fats necessary for the human body?
• Which oils should you consume?

So, sit back and relax, fry some crispy jalebi, samosa or pakoda (paneer for Archit) in healthy oils, serve it with chutney, crank up the volume and listen to the 2Gs fat-a-fat.
