Product Description

Mustard Oil is also called Sarson Ka Tel or Mohri Tel in Marathi. It is one of the oldest and most traditional cooking oils in Indian cuisine. Its distinct sharp and pungent aroma, high smoke point, as well as warm and nutty flavour are some of the reasons this oil has been loved from generation to generation. Prakritii Organics guarantees that our Mustard Oil is 100% organic, cold-pressed from chemically non-treated mustard seeds grown without synthetic pesticides or harmful fertilisers, thereby making it a clean and genuine traditional oil for your kitchen.

The cold-pressed method keeps the mustard seeds' natural pungency, flavour compounds, and nutritional qualities unchanged. It is a natural process without any heat and the use of chemical solvents that is characteristic of refining oil.

It is used for tempering, marinating fish and meats, making pickles and achars, and as a cooking medium for traditional North Indian and Bengali preparations.

Important Note: Mustard oil sold in India is for cooking use. In some countries, mustard oil is labelled "for external use only" due to its erucic acid content; this labelling applies to export markets and not to its traditional use as a cooking oil in India, where it has been consumed for centuries. Use as a cooking oil in the quantities normally used in everyday Indian cooking.

Tips to Store Organic Mustard Oil

Store in a clean, airtight dark glass bottle or the original sealed container away from direct sunlight and heat.
Keep away from strong-smelling ingredients. Since mustard oil has a strong natural aroma, it should be stored separately from delicate-flavoured products.
Store at room temperature in a cool, dark kitchen cupboard. Do not refrigerate as cold temperatures cause the oil to become cloudy and thick.

Benefits of Organic Mustard Oil

The oil is nutritious and filled with both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Has a very high smoke point; therefore, it is excellent for high-temperature cooking, such as tempering and deep frying.
Does not contain residues of chemical solvents, synthetic pesticides, and other artificial substances used in the making of refined oils.

Mustard Oil, Sarson Ka Tel, is the traditional Indian choice and one of the trusted ingredients that Indian kitchens have used for centuries. It not only tastes good with the natural sharp, warming, and pungent flavour but also is highly resistant to smoke due to a high smoke point. Besides these, mustard oil can take spices and aromatics so much further into the dish than any other neutral oil can. Made from mustard seeds that are chemical-free and organically grown without synthetic pesticides, Prakritii Organics' Organic Mustard Oil is a cold-pressed oil that retains the natural flavour, antioxidants, and fatty acid profile of the oil without being exposed to heat or chemical solvents (which are commonly found in the production of refined oils).
It starts with oil tempered for the first dal and then moves on to the fish marinades that are infused with the oil. A Bengali mustard gravy is primarily made with mustard oil, which is also the oil that seals a winter achar, it is the genuine, cleanly grown, and honestly pressed variety.

Health Benefits & Nutrition

Organic cold-pressed mustard oil naturally boasts a well-balanced fatty acid composition it offers monounsaturated fats (oleic acid), polyunsaturated fats including alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid), along with a certain level of erucic acid, which is the compound giving it its pungent characteristic and is currently under nutritional research in terms of effects at very high dietary amounts. When used in traditional Indian cooking amounts, mustard oil has been the main medium for cooking for centuries in North India, Bengal and some parts of Maharashtra without any harmful effects, and its omega-3 content makes it a better fatty acid profile than most refined cooking oils we find today.
It contains raw glucosinolates bearing the same compounds found in mustard seeds and the Brassica family, which research has shown to possess antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory features. The allyl isothiocyanate compounds that give mustard oil its distinctively pungent smell also have been shown to have antimicrobial properties, and these are among the reasons it is the traditional oil for Indian pickling, where its natural preservative qualities help keep the pickles fresh.

How to Use & Storage

It is best to get your organic mustard oil out when you want to do a tadka (tempering) at a very high temperature, stir rarely, marinate fish and meat before cooking, and as a basic oil for traditional Indian pickles and achars where its natural preservative properties are indispensable. For North Indian and Bengali cooks, heat the oil to its smoke point first and allow it to cool slightly before adding spices, this step reduces the raw pungency and brings out the oil's warm, rounded flavour that is the foundation of authentic regional cooking.
Keep mustard oil in a clean, airtight dark glass bottle or sealed container at room temperature in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct sunlight and heat, do not refrigerate, as cold temperatures cause the oil to thicken and cloud. Use within 6 months of opening and within 12 months of the sealed production date for best flavour.

Is organic cold-pressed mustard oil better than refined mustard oil?

Yes - cold-pressed mustard oil is extracted using mechanical pressing without heat or chemical solvents, which preserves the oil's natural flavour compounds, antioxidants, and fatty acid profile intact. Refined mustard oil is processed with heat and chemical solvents that strip these natural properties away for a more neutral flavour and longer shelf life - the result is a less nutritionally complete and less flavourful product than genuine cold-pressed oil.

Why does mustard oil have a strong smell and is it normal?

The strong, sharp, pungent aroma of mustard oil is entirely natural and comes from allyl isothiocyanate - a naturally occurring compound in mustard seeds that is responsible for the oil's characteristic heat and smell. This pungency is a sign of genuine, unrefined cold-pressed oil and is exactly what gives traditional Indian dishes cooked in mustard oil their distinctive character. Refined mustard oil has a significantly weaker aroma because the refining process removes these natural compounds.

Can mustard oil be used for making pickles and achar?

Yes - mustard oil is the traditional and most effective oil for Indian pickling and achar preparations. Its natural allyl isothiocyanate content provides genuine antimicrobial properties that help preserve pickles, and its strong flavour is an essential part of the authentic taste profile of traditional Indian achars. Always use raw, unheated mustard oil in pickle preparations - heating before adding to pickles reduces its natural preservative properties.

What is the smoke point of mustard oil and can it be used for high-temperature cooking?

Mustard oil has a high smoke point of approximately 250°C (480°F), making it suitable for high-temperature cooking methods including tempering (tadka), stir-frying, sautéing, and deep frying. Its high smoke point means it remains stable at cooking temperatures without breaking down into harmful compounds at the heat levels used in standard Indian cooking.
