Kitchen tips

Saag, makki roti and pickles — how Hisar homes use mustard oil through the cold months.

When the fields around Hisar turn yellow, mustard oil takes centre stage in the kitchen.
Sarson ka saag
Greens are slow-cooked, mashed with a little makki atta and finished with a smoking-hot mustard oil tadka of garlic and green chilli.
Winter pickles
Carrot, radish and gobhi pickles need a bold oil that keeps them fresh for weeks — this is where kachi ghani mustard oil shines.
Buying tip
Larger 5 L jars and 15 L tins work out cheaper per litre for families who cook with mustard oil every day through the season.
