Indian-Style Vegetable Stir-Fry

Yield: Makes 6 servings

Using canola oil is an easy way to reduce the amount of saturated fat in stir-fries. Canola oil is rapidly becoming more popular in the U.S., as health-conscious cooks learn it contains more monounsaturated fat (the "better" fat) than any oil except olive oil. It even contains omega-3 fatty acids, which have been found to lower cholesterol and triglycerides. Canola oil is mild in flavor, so it can be used in salad dressings as well as cooking.
