How to Choose the Right Cooking Oil for Everyday Indian Cooking

Cooking oil is one of the most frequently used ingredients in an Indian kitchen.

But with different types of oils available, consumers often ask:

Which cooking oil is right for my kitchen?

There isn't necessarily one answer for every household. The right choice depends on cooking style, recipe requirements, taste preferences and the characteristics of the particular oil.

What Is Cooking Oil Used For?

Indian cooking involves many methods:

• Tempering
• Frying
• Sautéing
• Roasting
• Curry preparation

Different households may therefore have different oil requirements.
