In this blog post, we’ll explore how each of these products plays a crucial role in Diwali preparations and share some fascinating facts and epic stories that connect these ingredients to Indian traditions.
The Significance of Cow Ghee in Diwali Sweets
Ghee has long been considered one of the most sacred and essential ingredients in Indian cooking, especially during festivals. Known as the “golden elixir,” ghee is made by clarifying butter, removing the milk solids to produce a rich, nutty flavor that enhances the taste of any dish.
In ancient texts, cow ghee was referred to as “the food of the gods.” The Mahabharata tells us about the time when Bhima, one of the Pandava brothers, cooked for King Virata during their exile. He used cow ghee to prepare sumptuous feasts that filled the palace with the divine aroma of purity and flavor. This tradition of using cow ghee during festive times continues to this day.
Why Pure Premium Cow Ghee is Perfect for Diwali Sweets:
- Mysore Pak: A rich sweet made from gram flour, sugar, and ghee, Mysore Pak melts in your mouth when made with premium cow ghee. Legend has it that Mysore Pak was created in the kitchens of the Mysore Palace and was the favorite of the royal family.
- Besan Laddu: Known for its crumbly texture and rich flavor, Besan Laddu becomes even more delightful when prepared with ghee. It is said that this sweet was first made in the temples of India as a prasad (offering to the gods), symbolizing purity and devotion.
Using 100% Pure Premium Cow Ghee from GheeStore ensures that your Diwali sweets are not only rich in flavor but also bring the essence of tradition to your festive celebrations.
Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil: The Secret to Perfectly Crispy Snacks
Diwali is not just about sweets—savory snacks like Murukku, Ribbon Pakoda, and Sev are an essential part of the festive spread. To achieve the perfect texture and crunch, using the right oil is crucial. That’s where Cold Pressed Marachekku Groundnut Oil comes in.
In South India, groundnut oil has been a staple for centuries, not only for its high smoking point but also for its rich, nutty flavor. The cold-pressed method of extraction ensures that the oil retains all its nutrients and natural flavor, making it perfect for deep-frying.
Interesting Fact:
In ancient India, groundnuts were called the “king of oils,” as they were used in both cooking and traditional Ayurvedic treatments. It was believed that groundnut oil provided strength and vitality, making it an ideal choice for festive occasions like Diwali when families would come together to celebrate with food.
- Murukku: This crunchy, spiral-shaped snack is best fried in groundnut oil, which enhances the flavor and ensures a light, crispy texture.
- Ribbon Pakoda: Another Diwali favorite, Ribbon Pakoda, turns out golden and crunchy when deep-fried in cold-pressed groundnut oil.
By using Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil, you ensure that your Diwali snacks are both delicious and healthy, retaining the traditional flavors that have made these dishes timeless favorites.
Gingelly Oil: A Sacred Ritual and a Culinary Essential
Cold Pressed Black Sesame Oil, also known as Gingelly Oil, holds a special place in both Indian cuisine and culture. In many South Indian households, Diwali begins with the traditional oil bath, where families apply gingelly oil to their skin and hair before taking a bath. This ritual is believed to cleanse the body and mind, purifying you for the celebrations ahead.
Gingelly oil is rich in antioxidants, Vitamin E, and essential fatty acids, making it not only beneficial for the skin but also a healthy cooking oil.
Did You Know?
According to ancient Indian mythology, sesame seeds were a symbol of immortality and health. It is said that Lord Yama, the god of death, blessed the sesame seed, making it a vital part of Indian rituals. Offering sesame oil in lamps during Diwali is believed to bring good luck and prosperity.
In addition to its ritualistic importance, Cold Pressed Black Sesame Oil is also a fantastic cooking oil, adding depth of flavor to your dishes.
- Sesame Laddu (Ellu Urundai): Made from black sesame seeds and jaggery, this simple yet nutritious sweet is a popular Diwali treat. Adding a little gingelly oil during preparation enhances the flavor and binds the ingredients together perfectly.
Interesting Facts and Epic Stories Behind Diwali Ingredients
- Ghee and the Gods: In Hindu mythology, it is believed that the gods themselves consumed ghee during elaborate yajnas (ritual sacrifices) to please the heavens. Ghee was poured into the sacred fire as an offering, with the belief that it would strengthen the bond between mortals and the divine.
- The Tale of Lord Krishna and Butter: As a child, Lord Krishna was known for his love of butter, which is closely related to ghee. His fondness for sneaking into the kitchens of Gokul to steal butter has been immortalized in countless stories and festivals, symbolizing the pure joy and love associated with dairy products like ghee.
- The Power of Sesame Oil: In the Ramayana, Lord Rama is said to have offered sesame oil to Lord Shiva before the final battle against Ravana. This was done to seek protection and blessings, emphasizing the spiritual power of sesame oil in rituals.
