Cream for this recipe can be of any fat content, but remember that the higher the percentage of fat content of the products you use, the higher the calorie content of the dish will be.

Secrets, life hacks and all the most useful tips read in the article: "Cream and sour cream in cream sauce: what should I do so that they don't curl up?" 

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
