 The Unique Qualities of Mustard Oil (Sarson ka Tel)

Mustard oil is not just a cooking medium; it’s an integral part of culinary heritage in many regions:

• Pungent & Strong Flavor: KTC Pure Mustard Oil delivers that authentic, sharp, and slightly spicy kick that is essential for many traditional recipes, particularly in North Indian, Bengali, and Punjabi cuisine.

• High Smoke Point (Typically): Generally has a high smoke point, making it suitable for deep frying, stir-frying, and sautéing. (It’s good to note that traditionally it’s often heated to its smoking point before use to mellow its pungency slightly).

• Essential for Pickling (Achaar): Its strong preservative qualities and distinct flavor make it the oil of choice for many traditional Indian pickles.

• Traditional Massage Oil: In Ayurveda and traditional home practices, mustard oil is often warmed and used for body massage, believed to improve circulation, relieve muscle soreness, and nourish the skin (especially in colder weather).

• Rich in Monounsaturated & Polyunsaturated Fats: Contains a good balance of these fatty acids, along with some omega-3 and omega-6.

• Authentic KTC Quality: KTC is a trusted brand, ensuring you receive pure mustard oil for your culinary and traditional needs.

 Culinary & Traditional Uses for KTC Pure Mustard Oil

• Indian Cooking:

  • Tempering (Tadka): Used to bloom spices for dals and curries, imparting its unique flavor.

  • Curries & Sabzis: The base oil for many regional vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.

  • Pickles (Achaar): The traditional oil for preserving and flavoring mango, lime, mixed vegetable, and other pickles.

  • Fish Preparations: Particularly popular in Bengali fish curries (like Sarson Maach).

  • Snacks: Used for frying some savory snacks.

• Traditional Massage:

  • Warm slightly and use for a stimulating body massage. Often believed to be warming for the body.

  • Sometimes used for scalp massage (though its strong aroma might be a consideration for some).

 Important Note on Usage.

Mustard oil has a very strong, pungent flavor. If you are new to using it in cooking, it’s often recommended to heat the oil until it just begins to smoke lightly, then let it cool slightly before adding other ingredients. This process helps to mellow its initial sharpness. Due to its erucic acid content, regulations regarding its sale as a food oil vary in some Western countries (though it’s widely consumed in South Asia). Always check local guidelines if unsure.
