Buy Indian Cooking Oil & Desi Ghee Online in Canada — Mustard Oil, Coconut Oil & Ghee
Oil and ghee are the base of almost everything an Indian kitchen cooks, from the first tadka to the last poori. GoDirect carries the full oils aisle — desi ghee, mustard oil, canola, sunflower, peanut, olive and coconut — for same-day delivery across the Greater Toronto Area, in everyday jars as well as the big tins families and caterers buy.
Desi ghee is the heart of the shelf, with Verka Desi Ghee, Nanak Desi Ghee, Savera Desi Ghee, Modhani Desi Ghee and Modhani Premium Desi Ghee, Amul Pure Ghee, Clarite Ghee and Brar's Ghee, including BRAR'S Grass Fed Ghee and an A2 desi ghee made in Canada. Ghee is what a Punjabi kitchen finishes a dal with, what panjiri and halwa are built on, and what gets brushed over a hot phulka.
Mustard oil — sarson ka tel — is stocked in kachi ghani and cold-pressed form: Fortune Mustard Oil Kachi Ghani, Tez Mustard Oil Kachi Ghani, Dabur Mustard Oil, Verka Mustard Oil, Canteen Mustard Oil (Cold Pressed), Anya Mustard Oil (Kachi Ghani) and Sohna Mustard Oil. It is the pungent oil Bengal fries fish in and stirs into kasundi, that Bihar and eastern UP pour over litti chokha, and that Punjab and Kashmir use for pickles and for sarson da saag.
For neutral everyday frying there is canola and vegetable oil from Canadian Pride and Mazola, sunflower oil including Fortune sunflower Oil Lite and The King Sunflower Oil, and Fortune Gold Nut Peanut Oil — the groundnut oil Gujarat and Maharashtra reach for in undhiyu, poha and farsan. On the lighter and speciality side there is Saporito Pomace Oilve Oil, Kitchen Treasures Coconut oil for Kerala cooking, Pam cooking spray in original and olive oil, and margarine for baking and spreading.
Sizes cover both the weekly shop and a proper stock-up. Ghee comes in 200 gm, 400 gm, 650 gm and 800 gm jars and 1.6 kg, 3 kg, 10 kg and 13 kg tins. Oils run 500 ml, 1 L, 2 L, 2.84 L, 3 L, 4.75 L and 5 L bottles, up to 16 L jugs, with 141 gm and 170 gm cooking sprays for light greasing. Store both oil and ghee away from heat and light — a cupboard rather than the counter beside the stove — and decant from a large tin into a smaller jar for daily use so the bulk stays sealed.
Frequently asked questions
Which oil do I use for Bengali fish curry and kasundi?
Bengali cooking is built on mustard oil, and the trick is to heat it until it just stops smoking before you add the paanch phoron or the fish — that takes the raw bite off and leaves the aroma. Fortune Mustard Oil Kachi Ghani, Tez Mustard Oil Kachi Ghani, Dabur Mustard Oil or Canteen Mustard Oil (Cold Pressed) all work for shorshe maachh, aloo posto and for the same oil stirred raw into kasundi. Bihar and eastern UP use it the same way over litti chokha.
What oil is used for Kerala cooking?
Coconut oil is the everyday cooking fat down the Malabar coast — it goes into the tempering for thoran, avial and Kerala fish curry, and gets drizzled raw over a finished dish for aroma. Kitchen Treasures Coconut oil covers it. Note that it sets solid in a cold Canadian kitchen; stand the bottle in warm water for a minute rather than microwaving it.
Which ghee should I buy for tadka, parathas and mithai?
Desi ghee is the traditional choice for all three — a spoon over dal for the final chhonk, a smear on a Punjabi paratha as it comes off the tawa, and the base for halwa, panjiri and laddoo. Verka Desi Ghee, Nanak Desi Ghee, Savera Desi Ghee, Amul Pure Ghee, Modhani Premium Desi Ghee and Brar's Ghee are all stocked, with BRAR'S Grass Fed Ghee if you want that line. Buy a jar for daily use and a tin only if you cook in volume.
What does kachi ghani mean on mustard oil?
Kachi ghani refers to mustard seed crushed cold in a traditional press instead of being heat-extracted, so the oil keeps its sharp aroma and pungency — which is exactly what pickles, sarson da saag and Bengali fish dishes are built around. Cold-pressed mustard oil is the same idea under a different name.
What sizes do oil and ghee come in?
Ghee is sold in 200 gm to 800 gm jars and 1.6 kg, 3 kg, 10 kg and 13 kg tins. Oils come in 500 ml, 1 L, 2 L, 2.84 L, 3 L, 4.75 L and 5 L bottles, up to 16 L jugs, plus small cooking-spray cans.
