SARASWATI Mustard Oil, Mohari Oil, wooden Pressed Oil, Saraswati SHG, Natural, Chemical Free, 200 gm

Wood-pressed mustard oil (mohari tel) in a 200 g pack, made by SARASWATI Mahila SHG in Bhandara district.

What to use it for

Mustard oil is the traditional oil for many lonche (pickles) and for tadka where you want its sharp, pungent flavour. If raw mustard oil tastes too strong for you, heat it until it just begins to smoke, let it cool, and then use it — this softens the bite.

What to expect

Wood-pressed (lakdi ghana) oil is filtered rather than refined, so a little sediment at the bottom of the bottle and a stronger aroma than supermarket oil are normal.

Pack size

This oil is sold by weight. Oil is lighter than water, so 200 g is roughly 220 ml.

Storage

Keep the cap tight and store away from sunlight and the heat of the stove.
