    I usually use sunflower oil - coz thats was has been used in my parents home for quite some time now (they say its good for the heart with lesser cholesterol and all).. gemini is the best brand that I get here - so use it

    Also, I have heard that alternating ur oil is important i.e. one should not continue using one particular oil for too long, u should keep changing the type of oil that u use regularly (i.e use sunflower one time, next use wheat bran, the next time buy somethig else and then back again to sunflower etc.. ) Not sure how true that is though

    Also, if I am doing some traditional cooking - then tend to use coconut oil also

    I prefer Olive Oil for cooking my food, because it is very healthy.

    hi,
    I keep changing the oil... sunflower oil, gingelly oil, coconut or rice bran/olive oil. I do not get addicted to one brand..I do not use groundnut or mustard oil.
