Yeah, you can totally use olive oil for Indian cooking. Just keep in mind it has a lower smoke point, so don't overheat it. Otherwise, it's a healthy swap!
Tried it before, and it works well! Just remember: extra virgin olive oil might alter the taste slightly, so go for regular olive oil if you want to keep the flavor authentic.
Not gonna lie, using olive oil in Indian dishes kinda messes with the traditional flavors. Stick to mustard oil if you want to keep it real.
