Smoke point
Good extra virgin olive oil handles medium heat well (around 190–210°C), enough for sautéing, sabzi and most salans.
Where it works best
- Salads, hummus and raita
- Sabzi and light salan
- Roasting vegetables
- Drizzling over daal
Where to use ghee instead
- Deep frying
- High-heat tadka
- Parathas and halwa
