5 simple ways to use cold pressed groundnut oil at homeमूंगफली के तेल के पाँच उपयोग

Cold pressed groundnut oil has a soft, nutty taste that does not take over the food. It is an easy oil for the everyday tawa. It contains peanuts, so please take care if you have a peanut allergy.

Five everyday uses

• Parathas. A little oil on the tawa is enough. The nuttiness sits well with ajwain or a plain aloo paratha.
• Aloo sabzi. Start the sabzi in a spoon or two of oil, with cumin, and the potato stays the main flavour.
• Pakoras. The recipe card below is a simple aloo pakora. Groundnut oil is a steady frying oil for snacks.
• Peanut chikki. Warm jaggery, stir in roasted peanuts, and use a lightly oiled spoon so the mix does not stick. Let it set, then break it.
• Stir-fried vegetables. A spoon of oil, mustard seeds or cumin, then whatever vegetable is in the fridge.

A note on frying

You do not need a deep kadhai full of oil for the pakoras above. A shallow layer is enough if you turn them.
