Cooking oil is a vital and basic ingredient in any Indian dish. Whether it is a serving of mixed greens or main course, oil is used for cooking and to add flavor to your food. However, picking the correct cooking oil can spare you from heart infections, cholesterol blockages, stoutness, and processing issues. 

Ghee

Ghee is one of the best and healthy options available for cooking in India. It is better than butter as Ghee is great for digestion. 

Mustard oil

Mustard oil is a great oil substitute for traditional cooking oil options as it is often used as a stimulant to help digestion and circulation

Sunflower oil

Sunflower oil is a great option as it is a good source of vitamin E.

Olive oil

Olive oil is another great alternative as it contains a good amount of antioxidants that reduce pain in the joints as well as lowers the risk of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. 

Rice bran oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and has cholesterol-lowering properties

Flaxseed oil

Flaxseed oil is another great cooking oil as it is loaded with the richness of omega 3 fatty acids. 

Groundnut oil

Groundnut oil is extremely high in monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated (PUFA), which help in lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. It’s a good source of vitamin E, which is known to act as an antioxidant by protecting the skin from acne or scars. 

Coconut oil

From smooth skin to lower your blood sugar level, coconut oil is known for its amazing health benefits. Loaded with the benefits of vitamin E, antioxidants, and polyphenols, coconut oil helps to prevent weight gain caused due to hormonal imbalance.
