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, tadka for dal, and Bengali or Punjabi style dishes. It is unrefined, so the pungency is strong and a little goes a long way.
What is Kachi Ghani mustard oil and how is CHEKKO sarson oil made?
Kachi Ghani means the raw sarson seed is crushed slowly, without heat being added. CHEKKO 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 mustard stay in the bottle.
What is the difference between cold pressed, wood pressed and Kachi Ghani mustard oil?
They all point to the same traditional method. 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 one means slow crushing at a low temperature instead of high heat and chemical refining.
Is CHEKKO 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 of virgin mustard oil?
Virgin mustard oil is valued in Indian kitchens for its bold aroma, sharp taste, a smoke point that suits frying and tadka, and for being minimally processed. It is also a traditional choice for pickling and for body massage. It is a food ingredient, so we do not make any medical or treatment claims.
What is mustard oil called in Indian languages such as Tamil, Telugu and Marathi?
Mustard oil is 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 who search 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?
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 and not a medical treatment, so please speak to a professional for any skin or scalp concern.
