Wood Pressed Oil Combos – Groundnut, Sesame & Coconut Oil Sets

A wood pressed oil combo is the easiest way to stock a Tamil kitchen: groundnut oil (kadalai ennai) for frying and daily cooking, sesame oil (nallennai) for tempering, podis and Karthigai lamps, and coconut oil (thengai ennai) for poriyal and Kerala-style dishes. Every oil here is pressed in Chennai the traditional marachekku way, not refined or bleached, and packed into one parcel.

Our most-ordered set is the Groundnut Oil 1L + Sesame Oil 1L combo at ₹729, ₹36 less than buying the two bottles separately (₹320 + ₹445).

Which oil combo should I buy?

• Small family or first try: Groundnut 1L + Sesame 1L (₹729).
• You cook with coconut oil too: Groundnut 1L + Sesame 1L + Coconut ½L (₹1,045) or Sesame 1L + Coconut ½L (₹699).
• Family of four or more, one order a month: Groundnut 2L + Sesame 2L (₹1,475).
• Karthigai Deepam and festival cooking: the oil & ghee box, and the ennai kuliyal (oil bath) combo with shikakai.

Frequently asked questions

What is marachekku oil in English?

Marachekku oil is wood pressed oil: seeds are crushed slowly in a wooden press (chekku) instead of being refined with heat and chemicals.

Which oil is best for daily cooking in a Tamil kitchen?

Most families use groundnut oil for frying and everyday cooking and gingelly (sesame) oil for tempering, podi and kuzhambu, which is why the groundnut + sesame combo is our best seller.

Is there sediment at the bottom of the bottle?

Yes, a little settling is normal in unrefined wood pressed oil. Let it settle and pour from the top.
