Buy Traditional Staples Online in Bangalore: Wood Pressed Oils, Ghee, Millets & More
Bangalore's supermarkets and quick-delivery apps are great for everyday groceries, but finding genuine wood pressed oils, pure ghee, millets, jaggery or iron cookware is harder. These traditional staples are what our grandparents cooked with, and more Bangalore families are going back to them. Here's a simple guide to what to look for and where to buy them online.
1. Wood Pressed and Cold Pressed Oils
Traditional oils are extracted slowly in a wooden or cold press, without high heat or chemical solvents. They keep their natural colour, aroma and taste, which refined oils lose.
- Groundnut oil – the everyday Karnataka cooking oil, good for frying and tadka.
- Sesame (gingelly) oil – for pulis, chutneys, pickles and oil baths.
- Coconut oil – for South Indian cooking, skin and hair.
- Mustard oil – for North Indian cooking and pickles.
Shop the full range: Wood Pressed Oils and Cold Pressed Oils.
Tip: genuine cold pressed oil has a natural aroma and may show slight sediment at the bottom. That's normal.
2. Pure Cow Ghee
Look for ghee made by slow heating, with no added colour, flavour or preservatives. It should have a grainy texture and a rich, nutty smell. See our Pure Cow Ghee.
3. Millets and Ancient Grains
Ragi, foxtail, little and kodo millets are Karnataka staples that are making a big comeback for rotis, dosas, upma and porridge. Browse Millets & Ancient Grains.
4. Jaggery, Honey and Natural Sweeteners
Unrefined jaggery and natural honey are traditional alternatives to white sugar for payasam, chikki, coffee and more. Shop Jaggery & Natural Sweeteners and Pure Natural Honey.
5. Salt, Spices and Pulses
Complete your pantry with Himalayan Pink Salt, Spices & Seasonings and Pulses & Lentils.
6. Iron and Cast Iron Cookware
Traditional iron kadais, tawas and dosa pans last for generations and give food that classic home-cooked taste. See Pure Iron Cookware and Cast Iron Cookware.
