Peanut oil, also known as groundnut oil, is a vegetable oil obtained from peanuts. It contains approximately 57% monounsaturated fats and up to 25% polyunsaturated fats. Notably, peanut oil boasts a high smoke point, reaching around 450°F (230°C), making it exceptionally heat-resistant and ideal for various high-temperature cooking methods in Indian cuisine, such as sautéing, frying, and baking. Additionally, it possesses a delightful flavor and aroma.
