What it is

Idhayam is the Virudhunagar name most Tamil families know for gingelly oil. V.V.V. Rajendran started the brand in December 1986, and Mantra is the groundnut oil from the same house.

Groundnut oil is the everyday frying oil of Tamil and Andhra kitchens, and Idhayam itself recommends Mantra for deep frying: vadai, bajji, bonda, poori and parotta. It has a mild peanut smell that sits behind the food rather than on top of it. Choosing between oils? Groundnut for frying and daily curries; gingelly for kuzhambu, podi and pickles; coconut for Kerala dishes.

Tip: For crisp medu vadai, drop a pinch of batter in first. If it rises at once, the oil is ready.

Goes well with: Aachi Bajji Bonda Powder, Aashirvaad Besan, Udhaiyam Urad Dal Gota
