I like chiken curry, what kind of oil do you recommend? Plam or sunflower?

Western Recipes,
You can use sunflower oil, vegetable oil, corn oil, peanut oil or sesame oil for chicken curry. But we never used palm oil for cooking.

Hi,
A quick question: Do I double the ingredients if I want to cook for 4 people?
on May 28th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
Exactly, Just double the ingredients to get double the amount curry.
