Description
Chekku Sesame Oil Lakshmi is a sesame oil whose name refers to the traditional South Indian pressing method known as chekku. Sesame and the oil obtained from it have held an important place in Indian cuisine for centuries, especially in Tamil Nadu and other southern regions of the country. Sesame oil is distinguished by its characteristic, distinctive flavor profile, which pairs well with spices, vegetables, rice, and legumes. It can be used in the preparation of curries, sauces, marinades, chutneys, and pickles, as well as for tempering spices, which involves briefly heating mustard seeds, cumin, chili, curry leaves, and other aromatic ingredients in fat. In South Indian cuisine, sesame oil is also sometimes combined with podi – dry spice mixes served, among other dishes, with idli and dosa. It gives dishes a distinctive sesame note and can be an interesting alternative to neutral vegetable oils. The range of use at high temperatures should be adjusted according to the manufacturer's information. The term "Chekku" should not be automatically interpreted as a declaration of "cold pressed," unrefined, or cold-pressed unless such terms appear on the label of the specific product.
