Best cold-pressed oils for Deepavali sweets, snacks and festive cooking
Prepare early for Deepavali with a practical guide to choosing groundnut, coconut and sesame oils for different festive foods.
Choose your Deepavali oils before the last-minute rush
Deepavali kitchens often prepare multiple batches of sweets and savouries. Planning the oil alongside your menu makes it easier to choose the right type and pack size before the busiest cooking days.
Groundnut oil for savouries and versatile cooking
Groundnut oil is a useful all-round option for many Indian snacks and everyday dishes. If your festival menu includes several savoury preparations, its versatility can simplify shopping.
Coconut oil where coconut aroma improves the recipe
For selected sweets and regional preparations, coconut oil can add a traditional flavour that is difficult to imitate with a more neutral oil.
Sesame oil for dishes that need deeper flavour
Sesame oil works best where its characteristic taste belongs in the recipe—such as selected rice dishes, accompaniments or household traditions that specifically call for it.
Freshness and storage are part of the purchase decision
Buy the amount your household expects to use, keep fresh oil closed and away from light and heat, and keep used cooking oil separate from the original container.
A simple Deepavali shopping approach is to use groundnut oil as the versatile base, then add coconut or sesame oil only for recipes where their individual flavours are important.
