Olive oil totally works. I've made Butter Chicken and Chana Masala with it. Tastes great!
Hot take: Use ghee or mustard oil for true Indian flavor. Olive oil, not so much.
Yes, you can, but traditional Indian recipes usually call for ghee or mustard oil for that authentic flavor. Experiment and see what you like!
