Re: Cooking Oil
We use canola oil for everyday cooking, and frying. We have extra virgin olive oil too and this usually is only used by me to make a healthier recipe.
Re: Cooking Oil

Everyday cooking: sunflower, canola or vegetable oil
Chinese: sesame oil
Deep frying: peanut oil
Salad dressings: olive oil, grape seed oil
Pastas: truffle oil or herb infused oils
Popcorn: coconut oil (believe it or not it’ll be the best popcorn ever)

Re: Cooking Oil
Dietitions say that no cooking oil is healthy no matter which one do you use.
anyhow, my mom uses sunflower oil
Re: Cooking Oil
^^^ true
Olive oil is the healthiest for you, but Italians say once you add heat to olive oil all the goodness disappears so it’s best to eat it ‘uncooked’ i.e. drizzled over salads or something
Re: Cooking Oil
Wonder how food will taste without cooking oil esp salaans…
is there any other way to bhoonify masala? I use very little to no oil in my cooking anyway.
Re: Cooking Oil
hahaha…tab to phir vo desi salan nahiiN hogaa…yeh to kuchh aur hii hogaa…no tel no desi saalan! 
Re: Cooking Oil
Sunflower oil is good to use for high heat cooking e.g to “bhoonoffy salans”. olive oil should not be used for this.
