Ghee & Oils

Enter any Indian kitchen, and you will immediately come across one thing: the warm smell of ghee or the soft crackling sound of oil boiling in a pan. They are not only cooking mediums, but they are also our daily rituals, traditions, and even memories. We use oil and ghee for more than just cooking. For example, we use ghee to spread on rotis and oil to temper spices.

At Gayatri Stores, we believe that picking the right oil and ghee can change both the taste and your health. Let us talk about why these basics are so important and how to pick the best ones for your kitchen.

Best Uses Of Ghee In Indian Cooking

Ghee has always been an essential item in Indian households due to its ability to enrich food. We use it in a variety of ways that go beyond just cooking.

• For Tadka (Tempering)- A spoon of hot ghee poured over dal or khichdi instantly releases a rich aroma and elevates the flavour.
• In Roti & Paratha- The ghee poured on fresh rotis or spread in parathas softens them and makes them more satisfying.
• For Traditional Sweets- Ghee contributes greatly to the richness and texture of many Indian sweets.
• For Cooking & Frying- When sauteing vegetables or frying them, ghee can be used due to its high smoke point.
• Final Touch- You can drizzle a small amount of ghee on rice or dal right before serving to provide a warm and rich flavour.

By using ghee thoughtfully, you will be able to enjoy its richness and still have a balanced meal.

Ghee In Ayurveda: Traditional Health & Wellness Uses

Ghee oil was traditionally considered a valuable cooking ingredient in Ayurveda. It is perceived as a nourishing element that helps to maintain overall body balance. From daily diets to traditional remedies, Ghee is still a significant part of a wellness and mindful lifestyle.

• Helps in digestion and also in the improved absorption of nutrients
• Widely linked to the comfort and flexibility of joints
• Known for its calming effect on the body and mind
• Used in simple home remedies for skin care and dryness

We often see ghee being used not just for cooking but also as part of a holistic approach to wellness.

Types Of Cooking Oils

Choosing the right cooking oil depends on your cooking style, flavour preference, and health goals. Here are some popular options we often recommend:

• Patanjali Cow Ghee: It is made in the traditional way, which gives it a rich and authentic smell that makes everyday meals better. It has a creamy consistency and a deep taste, thus it can be chosen to make everyday Indian dishes.
• KTC Sunflower Oil: This is a light and neutral oil that can be used in a great variety of dishes without changing the natural taste of the dish. It is particularly effective for deep frying and sauteing of food due to its clean finish.
• Dabur Organic Ghee: With its purity, this ghee has a clean and smooth texture, which mixes easily in cooking and direct use. It has a balanced taste that makes it easy to use in both daily meals and other special preparations.
• Patanjali Mustard Oil: It has a strong and spicy taste that makes regional food taste different. It is commonly used in frying, pickles, and curries, especially in dishes of northern and eastern India.

The purpose of each of these options is different, and so it is not hard to experiment and find what fits your kitchen best.
