Can Olive Oil Be Used for Cooking Indian Food?
Totally! Olive oil is a versatile and healthy option, though it might alter the traditional taste a bit. I use it for sautéing onions and spices all the time!

Why not? Olive oil works fine, but just know that it has a lower smoke point than some traditional Indian oils. Adjust your cooking temp accordingly.
Yes, but it's not common in traditional Indian cooking. Stick to ghee or mustard oil for authenticity.
I tried using olive oil for making my curry, and while it worked, the flavor wasn't quite the same. Still good though!
