About CHEKKO Kachi Ghani Sarson Mustard Oil
Is CHEKKO virgin mustard oil good for everyday Indian cooking?
Yes. CHEKKO cold pressed virgin mustard oil is made for everyday Indian cooking—sarson ka saag, aloo and gobi sabzi, fish and prawn fry, achar and pickles, dal tadka, and Bengali or Punjabi dishes. It is unrefined, so the pungency is strong and a little virgin mustard oil goes a long way.
What is Kachi Ghani virgin mustard oil and how is it made?
Kachi Ghani means raw sarson seed is crushed slowly without added heat. CHEKKO virgin mustard oil is wood pressed in a traditional chekku or ghani at low speed, then rested and filtered. There is no refining, bleaching or deodorising, so the natural colour, aroma and sharpness of the mustard remain in the bottle.
What is the difference between cold pressed, wood pressed and Kachi Ghani mustard oil?
These terms describe the same traditional method used for virgin mustard oil. Kachi Ghani is the North Indian term, chekku or marachekku is the South Indian term, and cold pressed or wood pressed is the modern label. Each means slow crushing at a low temperature instead of high heat and chemical refining.
Is CHEKKO virgin mustard oil cold pressed, unrefined and hexane free?
Yes. CHEKKO virgin mustard oil is cold pressed and unrefined, with no hexane or solvent extraction, no bleaching and no deodorising. The only ingredient is mustard seed.
What are the benefits and everyday uses of virgin mustard oil?
Virgin mustard oil is valued in Indian kitchens for its bold aroma, sharp taste, smoke point suited to frying and tadka, and minimal processing. It is also a traditional choice for pickling and body massage. It is a food ingredient, so we do not make medical or treatment claims.
What is virgin mustard oil called in Tamil, Telugu and Marathi?
Virgin mustard oil is called sarson ka tel or sarso tel in Hindi, kadugu ennai in Tamil, avalu nune in Telugu, kaduku enne in Kannada, mohariche tel in Marathi, shorshe tel in Bengali and sorisha tela in Odia. Shoppers searching for sarso chekku or chekku mustard oil are looking for this same wood pressed oil.
Can virgin mustard oil be used for hair, beard and body massage?
Virgin mustard oil has long been used at home for hair, beard and body massage. Warm a small quantity, do a patch test on a small area first, keep it away from the eyes and wash it off well after use. This is a traditional practice, not a medical treatment, so speak to a professional about any skin or scalp concern.
