Nellore — Heritage and Identity
Nellore sits on the banks of the Penna river in southern Andhra Pradesh, 175 km north of Chennai. It is famous across India for its prawn aquaculture — Nellore prawns are exported worldwide. The city has a proud Telugu identity shaped by the Vijayanagara empire, the Nizam's influence, and a strong agricultural and fishing economy.
Nellore's cuisine is among the spiciest in India. Nellore chepala pulusu (fish curry) is legendary — a fiery tamarind-based broth that defines the city's food identity. Sesame oil (nalla ennai) and groundnut oil are the traditional cooking fats, used in everything from prawn fry to gongura pachadi. The food is bold, sour, and intensely flavoured.
Nellore's dishes that use sesame oil
Sesame oil (nalla ennai) is the traditional cooking fat of Nellore's Telugu kitchen. Cold-press sesame oil preserves the deep, toasty flavour that makes Nellore's fish curries and chutneys distinctive.
Known locally as: Nuvvula nune / Nalla ennai
Why cold pressed — not refined
No heat, no chemicals. The oil retains its natural nutrients, aroma, and flavour exactly as nature intended.
Refined oil uses hexane to extract every last drop. Cold press uses only mechanical pressure — nothing else touches the oil.
Omega fatty acids, vitamin E, antioxidants, and natural phytochemicals — all destroyed by refining, all preserved by cold press.

What nutrition experts say about cold pressed oils
"Sesame oil is one of the most stable cooking oils due to its unique lignan content — sesamin and sesamolin act as natural antioxidants that prevent oxidation. Cold pressed extraction preserves these lignans fully, making it far more beneficial than refined sesame oil."
Dr. Shikha Sharma
Nutritionist and Wellness Expert

On cold pressed vs refined edible oils in Indian diets
"In South Indian and traditional Ayurvedic cooking, til ka tel has always been valued for its therapeutic properties. Modern research confirms that cold pressed sesame oil's sesamol content provides significant protection against lipid oxidation during cooking."
Dr. Rupali Datta
Chief Clinical Nutritionist
Fortis Healthcare, New Delhi
On traditional Indian cooking oils and modern nutritional science
ICMR Dietary Guidelines for Indians (2024): The Indian Council of Medical Research recommends using traditional cold pressed oils (kachi ghani) as part of a balanced Indian diet. The guidelines specifically note that cold pressed mustard oil, sesame oil, and groundnut oil retain their natural fatty acid profiles and micronutrients, making them preferable to refined and hydrogenated alternatives.
