In a world obsessed with fast food and refined oils, there’s a quiet revolution happening in Indian kitchens. It smells earthy, looks golden, and crackles with nostalgia — we’re talking about Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil, or as our grandmothers fondly called it, sarson ka tel.
At Chaukdi, we believe food is not just fuel. It's memory, heritage, and healing. That’s why our mustard oil isn’t just any mustard oil. It’s made the old-school way — cold-pressed in small batches, sourced from the mustard fields of India, and crafted to preserve both taste and tradition.
🌿 What is Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil?
Cold-pressed mustard oil is extracted by crushing mustard seeds at low temperatures (under 40°C) using traditional wooden or stone churners (kolhu). This ensures the oil retains all its natural nutrients, pungency, and aroma — unlike refined oils that undergo bleaching and heating, stripping them of their goodness.
🧡 Why Choose Cold-Pressed Over Refined?
Here’s why cold-pressed mustard oil should be your go-to:
-
✅ Rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids
-
✅ Natural antibacterial and antifungal properties
-
✅ Boosts immunity and aids digestion
-
✅ Retains natural aroma and flavor
-
✅ No chemicals. No heat. No preservatives.
And unlike refined oils, Chaukdi’s mustard oil is made in small batches using time-tested ghani methods — ensuring purity in every drop.
🍲 The Taste That Brings You Home
There’s something deeply comforting about the aroma of mustard oil hitting a hot kadhai. It reminds you of maa ke haath ka khana, the smell of winter pickles sunbathing on the terrace, or that perfect crispy aloo-pyaaz paratha.

Sukhi Aloo Sabzi
