See why we like coocnut oil. Coconut oil is a medium chain triglycerides (MCT’s).  Unlike other fats, they go directly from the gut to the liver. From here, they are then used as a source of energy or converted into ketones. As the calories in MCT’s are used straight away, they are less likely to be stored as fats in the body. MCT's have shown to improve your brain and memory function, they also give a boost to your energy levels and improve your endurance.

Can I skip URAD dal or replace URAD dal with something else ?

   Urad dal has been added to give an authentic South Indian cuisine mouthfeel and flavour. If you wish you can avoid it. Alternatively replace it with cumin seeds.
