For example:

Fry the paneer: Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Dip each paneer cube into the batter and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Olive oil: Rich in monounsaturated fats, heart-healthy, ideal for dressing or light sautéing.
Coconut oil: High in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), beneficial for brain function and energy.
Mustard oil: Contains omega-3 fatty acids, ideal for Indian cooking, great for heart health.
Sunflower oil: High in vitamin E, good for frying due to its high smoke point.
Refined vs. Cold-Pressed: Discuss the difference between refined (processed) oils and cold-pressed oils, and how the latter retains more nutrients.
