The Myth-Buster
Can I use Cold Pressed Oil for Tadka?
Yes! Contrary to the myth, cold-pressed oil is excellent for tadka and sautéing. While refined oils are engineered for long deep-frying sessions, cold-pressed oils retain natural antioxidants that protect them during the short "flash-heat" of tempering spices, ensuring you get both the authentic aroma and the health benefits.
Tadka (Tempering): This is a flash-heating process where oil is heated for a very short duration (often less than 60 seconds) to bloom spices. Because the exposure to heat is brief, the oil's fatty acids do not have enough time to undergo significant thermal degradation or oxidation.
Deep Frying: This involves keeping oil at a constant high temperature ($170 degree C to $190 degree C) for an extended period. This sustained heat is what eventually breaks down the molecular structure of unrefined oils.
