We use olive oil all the time when cooking. Anything you would normally use ghee or veggie oil for, you can just use olive oil instead. Same darn taste and your pants fit better.

Re: Olive Oil
Okay do only desis use ghee or arabs use it toO?
I hate ghee, it smells sooo icky.. i’d never use it in salans or any dishes, but for a paratha or halva/zarda, ghee is usually teh best .. 
At home ammi used pomace olive oil, which ive recently learned is a lower quality of olive oil but still olive oil nonetheless.. xtra virgin olive oil tastes different, it deff takes getting used to though..
For frying, olive oil isnt good?

Re: Olive Oil
u reap advantages of olive oil best in dressing salads and eating in its natural state as opposed to heating up in desi dishes at high temperatures.

its an excellent lip and hand moisturizer though...

use it in cooking but it needs to be kept in the fridge, according to Dr. Mehmet Oz.
He says such oils change their composition if they have been left outside for too long.
