pleased you are amused...is rapeseed not the english name for canola oil ?

 

the recipe came from this book..... http://meerasodha.com/about/books/   (made in india)

 

Canola oil, or canola for short, is a vegetable oil derived from rapeseed

 

Yup, Rapeseed oil....why would anybody call ii anything else?

Bloody North Americans and their weird made up names for stuff

Well, we invented it, and we lead the world in production. If you're ever flying over Saskatchewan in the summer, all you can see are bright yellow fields of it....rapeseed that is.

 

The name canola comes from 'can' for Canada , and 'ola' oil low acid.

 

I'm assuming someone powerful objected to the 'rape' thingie.
