What it is

Native Food Store was started in Chennai in 2016 by P. Vishnukumar, an engineer by training, as a one-stop shop for millets and millet-based products. This is its groundnut oil, pressed slowly in a wooden marachekku.

It smells of groundnuts, has a deep gold colour and tastes a little sweet, heavier than a refined oil. It suits everyday tempering, poriyal and curries, and a batch of masala vadai on a cold evening. Choosing between groundnut oils? Native Food Store or Nala Maharaja for marachekku taste; Idhayam Mantra for a milder everyday frying oil.

Tip: Ada and kuzhi paniyaram crisp up best with this oil. Put a few drops in each cup of the paniyaram pan.

Goes well with: Udhaiyam Channa Dhal, Sakthi Bajji Bonda Powder, Native Food Store Millet Ada Dosa Mix
