I would be concerned about using oil that has been heated until almost smoking, since it becomes cancerous!The raw flavour of the ginger/garlic would anyway be gone when you actually use it during cooking...

There is a difference here though. The oil is heated only slightly to remove the raw flavor and to help preserve the ginger garlic paste. It is similar to the oil you would use to cook any subzi or vegetable. It has not been heating for the entire duration of the frying process, then cooled and then heated again for another frying session. Hope that clears up any doubts. Hi Divya,

I have read everywhere you guys posting about how 'bad' the oil gets once it is cooled down after reaching smoking point. On one hand, you say it is unhealthy to consume such oil, and on the other hand you ask us to use the same oil for this paste. Can you explain why? Or am I missing something here? Thanks Hello ladies,
