Know Your Oils.Know Your Kitchen.
A free club for families who cook every day. Learn what is in your oil, how to read a label, and how much your kitchen really uses, in the language you cook in.
Every Oil Has a Story
Different oils suit different dishes and different traditions. Here is a simple guide to the oils in South Indian kitchens, in plain words.
Groundnut Oil
Mild, nutty and familiar. A staple of Telugu kitchens for curries, stir-fries and snacks.
White Sesame (Gingelly) Oil
Rich, toasty aroma. Loved for tempering, podis and pickles.
Coconut Oil
A distinct sweet aroma that defines coastal curries. Best enjoyed in balance and moderation.
Safflower Oil
A light, neutral taste that lets the spices speak.
Niger Seed Oil
A traditional regional oil with a mild, nutty taste. Ask the Club for recipes.
Pumpkin Seed Oil
Deep, nutty flavour, usually used as a finishing oil rather than for high-heat cooking.
Four Things to Check on Any Oil Label
Whatever brand you buy, these four checks take thirty seconds and tell you far more than the front of the bottle.
Oil name and blend
Is it one oil or a blend? Blends should name each oil.
Batch and dates
Look for a batch code, packing date and best-before date.
Proof you can see
Can you read a lab report for your batch? Nakulya packs carry a QR for this.
Storage advice
Keep oil away from light and heat, and use it within the time stated once opened.
The Oil Meter
Most of us have never measured how much oil our kitchen uses. Find your number in two minutes. No sign-up needed.
Tip: note how many days a 1 litre bottle lasts in your kitchen, then work out the monthly litres.
Your kitchen uses about
per person, per day, about 0 teaspoons
That is 0 litres a year, or 0 one-litre bottles.
The Oil Meter is an awareness tool and not medical or dietary advice. For personal guidance, please ask your doctor or dietitian. Join the Club to save your number and see how it changes.
Free to Join. Useful from Day One.
Oil guides, recipes, expert sessions and batch lab reports, whether or not you ever buy a bottle.
