Cooking oils are the silent heroes of Indian cuisine. They not only define the texture and aroma of food but also connect us to home — to the familiar flavours of mom’s tadka, festive sweets, or a sizzling fish fry.

If you’re living in Germany and trying to recreate authentic Indian dishes, finding the right oil can be a challenge. Local supermarkets often don’t stock mustard oil, pure ghee, or coconut oil suitable for traditional cooking. That’s where Anant Supermarkt steps in — your trusted online Indian grocery store in Germany.

Let’s explore the three most loved Indian cooking fats that bring depth, authenticity, and nostalgia to every meal: mustard oil, coconut oil, and ghee.

1. Mustard Oil – The Heart of North & East Indian Kitchens

A few ingredients define Indian regional cooking, such as mustard oil. Its sharp aroma and pungent bite are essential for dishes from Bengal, Bihar, and Punjab.

From Bengali fish curry (macher jhol) to Punjabi achars (pickles), mustard oil’s bold flavour stands out. It has a high smoking point, making it perfect for frying, sautéing, and deep cooking, ideal for Indian-style stir-fries and curries.

At Anant Supermarkt, you can find trusted brands of mustard oil directly imported from India, ensuring purity and taste that matches home standards.

Why choose mustard oil?

• Strong flavour adds depth to curries and stir-fries

• High in omega-3 and antioxidants

• Excellent for pickling vegetables

• Ideal for deep frying traditional Indian snacks

Pro tip: Always heat mustard oil until it slightly smokes — this step mellows the pungency and brings out its natural richness.

2. Coconut Oil – South India’s Natural Treasure

Coconut oil is more than just a cooking ingredient — it’s a part of South Indian tradition. Used in dishes from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and coastal Karnataka, it imparts a mild sweetness and a subtle nutty flavour.

It’s also one of the healthiest oils, rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and known for promoting heart and brain health. Whether you’re making Kerala-style avial, coconut chutney, or coastal curries, a drizzle of coconut oil is what brings everything together.

At Anant Supermarkt, you’ll find pure, cold-pressed coconut oils ideal for cooking, baking, and even skincare.

Why choose coconut oil?

• Adds aroma and softness to food

• Great for deep frying and sautéing

• 100% natural and chemical-free options available

• Can be used for cooking and self-care

Pro tip: Use coconut oil for tempering mustard seeds and curry leaves — it enhances the flavour instantly.

3. Ghee – The Golden Essence of Indian Food

No other ingredient carries the same nostalgia and aroma as ghee. From temple prasad to festive sweets, ghee is deeply woven into India’s food culture.

Ghee, or clarified butter, is not just delicious — it’s nutritious. Rich in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), it supports digestion and boosts immunity. Whether you’re making dal tadka, parathas, or halwa, adding a spoon of ghee takes your dish from good to divine.

Anant Supermarkt proudly offers Ayurveda Foods Organic Ghee (440g) — a high-quality, pure, and aromatic option made from real butter.

Why choose ghee?

• Ideal for cooking, roasting, or frying

• Long shelf life and stable at high temperatures

• Adds authentic Indian richness to food

• Enhances both flavour and nutrition

Pro tip: Drizzle a teaspoon of ghee on hot rice or roti — it brings warmth, comfort, and nostalgia in every bite.
