Ambika Mustard Oil is often referred to as "Kachi Ghani," which means it is cold-pressed. Mustard Oil 1 Litre
Cold Pressed Process: The oil is extracted from mustard seeds at low temperatures. This method preserves the natural essential oils, antioxidants, and the signature sharp pungency that heat-refined oils often lose.
Nutrient Retention: Cold pressing keeps the Vitamin E and healthy fats intact, making it a healthier choice compared to highly processed alternatives.
Mustard oil has a high smoke point (approx. 250°C), making it excellent for high-heat cooking. However, to unlock its best flavor, there is a trick.
Smoking the Oil: Traditionally, mustard oil is heated in the pan until it reaches its smoking point and changes color from dark yellow to pale golden. This process reduces the raw pungency, mellowing the flavor into a nutty, sweet profile perfect for cooking.
Fish Curry: In Bengali cuisine (Maacher Jhol), mustard oil is non-negotiable. It cuts through the fishiness and adds a depth of flavor that complements turmeric and green chilies.
Vegetable Stir-Fries: Cooking bitter melon (karela), eggplant, or okra in mustard oil transforms their taste, adding a savory richness.
No Indian pickle is complete without mustard oil. It acts as a natural preservative, keeping pickles fresh for months while infusing the vegetables or mangoes with a sharp, tangy kick.
Mustard oil has been used for centuries not just as food, but as medicine.

Antimicrobial Properties: The essential oil (allyl isothiocyanate) responsible for its pungency has strong antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Digestive Aid: It stimulates the production of digestive juices, helping to improve appetite and digestion.
In many households, mustard oil is a multi-purpose essential.
Massage Oil: Warm mustard oil is traditionally used for body massages (Malish), especially in winter. It is believed to generate heat, improve circulation, and relieve muscle pain and joint stiffness.
