Cold Pressed Oils for Fasting (Navratri, Ekadashi, Mahashivratri)

Sattvic Oils for Sacred Fasting Meals

Fasting during Indian festivals like Navratri, Ekadashi, Mahashivratri, or Shravan is not just a dietary tradition but a spiritual discipline. SutraKart’s cold pressed oils are made using the ancient Lakdi Ghani (wooden churner) method, aligning perfectly with the sattvic food requirements followed during vrat. These oils are unrefined, chemical-free, and full of natural energy to support your fasting rituals.

• Free from chemical additives, preservatives, and bleaching agents
• Supports digestion, satiety, and spiritual clarity
• Ideal for making light and clean vrat recipes
• Complies with sattvic dietary norms of Indian fasting

Top Cold Pressed Oils for Vrat Cooking

Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil

Widely used during Navratri and Ekadashi, groundnut oil has a subtle aroma and is ideal for frying fasting-friendly dishes like sabudana vada, kuttu puris, and sweet potato cutlets. It is light on the stomach and enhances the flavor of vrat recipes.

Cold Pressed Coconut Oil

Perfect for South Indian fasting dishes, coconut oil is cooling and sattvic. It is widely used to prepare banana chips, coconut barfi, and simple stir-fried vegetables like arbi or pumpkin during fasts.

Cold Pressed Sunflower Oil

Neutral in taste, sunflower oil is often used in vrat thalis for light sautéing, tikkis, or frying fruits like raw banana or jackfruit. It retains natural vitamin E and is easy to digest.

Cold Pressed Sesame Oil

Til oil is warm and nutrient-rich, used in winter fasting or Ekadashi vrat. Excellent for dishes like vrat-style khichdi or dry sabzis like lauki and arbi. It also supports detox and blood circulation.
