After a break in his native India, our Chef Abhay has returned to Sharm El Sheikh with a mission: to make Camel's Tandoori the only Indian restaurant in Egypt offering food that is both delicious and good for your heart. To achieve this aim, since 1 February Chef Abhay uses top-quality olive oil in all dishes which previously contained butter.
Health professionals recommend that we replace saturated fats in our diet, such as butter, with unsaturated or ‘heart-healthy’ fats like olive oil. Saturated fats are linked to high cholesterol levels, which can lead to heart disease, whereas unsaturated fats can actually lower cholesterol levels. According to Chef Abhay, “There is growing evidence of the health benefits of cooking with olive oil. I’m delighted that the dishes I prepare are now heart-healthy as well as tasty.” Chef Abhay counts Chicken Madras, and for those who like milder spices, Lamb Kebab and Chicken Tikka Masala, amongst his signature dishes. Guests dining at Tandoori may now enjoy these and other delicious dishes on the extensive menu, including freshly baked naan breads and mouth-watering vegetable items – without heart-health worries.
