Every winter, the fields around Sirsa turn bright yellow with mustard flowers. Those seeds become one of the most loved cooking oils in North India.
What does kachi ghani mean?
Kachi ghani refers to traditional cold pressing, where seeds are crushed slowly without high heat. The oil keeps its natural pungency, golden colour and aroma.
How to use it
- Heat until it just begins to smoke, then lower the flame - this mellows the pungency.
- Perfect for sarson ka saag, fish curries, parathas and pickles.
- Use raw in small amounts for chutneys and bharta.
