If it really was olive oil though Jerry you couldn't get it that hot without ruining it surely?
Vindaloo-crazy,
u can't tell any difference between veg oil and olive oil when frying it for curry. i even use it for omelet (for the kids). alas i'm off the omelette's down to watching cholesterol - hence how i came to use olive oil so much in cooking generally. i buy in the big tins so price is not that much more than veg oil.
please note that i only use olive oil for frying when stuck - i use veg oil all the time normally as i reclaim it from the base

Hi JerryM
Ive been making curries and base using only olive oil for many years.
Also did back to back comparisons re conventional oil both on same base and finished dish - result, couldnt tell the difference.
O oil is fortunately cheap here in Turkey, so health benefits are immense if eating curries almost every second day
The secret is to use standard NON virgin oil, as the virgin oil is too heavily flavoured
Cheers All
