Authentic Cold Pressed Indian Oils —
The Taste Your Kitchen Misses

Yes. Dune Aura ships pan-India. If you are visiting India or sending a parcel home, you can order our cold pressed mustard oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, and soya oil to any Indian address. Many NRI families order bulk quantities when visiting India to carry back authentic kachi ghani oils.

Cold pressed mustard oil (kachi ghani sarson ka tel) is deeply embedded in North Indian, Bengali, and Punjabi cooking traditions. The pungent aroma, the distinctive flavour in tadka, and the health benefits of allyl isothiocyanate cannot be replicated by refined or imported substitutes. Indians abroad seek authentic kachi ghani oil to recreate the exact taste of home-cooked food.

Cold pressed oils are extracted mechanically below 45°C without chemicals, preserving natural nutrients, antioxidants, and flavour. Refined oils use hexane solvents and high heat (200°C+), stripping away most nutritional value. Cold pressed oils retain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, and natural phytochemicals that make them far superior for health.

For North Indian cooking (dal, sabzi, tadka, parathas) — cold pressed mustard oil. For Bengali cuisine (fish curry, shorshe ilish) — cold pressed mustard oil. For South Indian cooking (sambar, rasam, dosas) — cold pressed sesame oil or coconut oil. For everyday stir-fry and salads — cold pressed peanut oil or soya oil.

Cold pressed mustard oil is sold as a cosmetic or massage oil in the USA and Canada due to FDA regulations on erucic acid. In the UK, EU, Australia, UAE, and Singapore it is freely available as a cooking oil. Many Indian diaspora in the USA purchase it labelled as "for external use" from Indian grocery stores. Dune Aura ships within India only — NRIs typically stock up when visiting home.
