And this year, you can make your favourite Diwali snacks with cold pressed oils for a delicious upgrade that keeps every recipe true to its roots. 

Why Cold Pressed Oils Belong in Your Festive Kitchen

Cold pressed oils are extracted without heat or harsh refining, which helps them retain their natural aroma and richness. That’s what makes Diwali snacks with cold pressed oils so special - each bite carries authentic taste, traditional depth, and a beautiful golden finish.

Here’s what makes them perfect for festive cooking:

• Natural flavour stays intact – every batch of chakli or namakpara turns crisp and aromatic.
  

• High smoke point – ideal for frying and roasting.
  

• Pure oils, no shortcuts – the old-fashioned way, just like your grandmother’s kitchen.
  

So, whether you’re frying or sautéing, Diwali snacks with cold pressed oils promise a taste that speaks of home and nostalgia.

Top Snacks That Shine with Cold Pressed Oils

1. Crispy Murukkus and Chaklis

These spiral delights are a Diwali must-have! With cold pressed groundnut oil, your murukkus come out perfectly golden and crunchy without soaking up excess oil.

Pro tip: Always use fresh cold pressed oil and let the dough rest before pressing - it makes all the difference in texture.

2. Roasted Masala Nuts

Diwali evenings call for a bowl of spiced nuts! Toss almonds, cashews and peanuts in cold pressed coconut oil with curry leaves, salt and chilli powder then roast till golden.

Why it works: The natural nuttiness of coconut oil complements the spices beautifully. These quick bites make for amazing gifts, too!

3. Golden Sev & Bhujia

No Diwali is complete without a bowl of sev on the table. The trick? Cold pressed sunflower oil. It gives your sev a light, crisp texture and a consistent golden colour.

Pro tip: Fry in small batches to keep the oil temperature stable - that’s how the pros do it!

4. Shakarpara & Namakpara

Sweet or savoury, these crunchy squares are festival favourites. Use cold pressed sesame oil for a rich aroma that enhances both versions.

The dough gets softer, and the snacks stay crisp longer - the secret to perfect Diwali snacks with cold pressed oils.

5. Banana Chips & Potato Wafers

If you love munching through the day, this one’s for you. Thinly sliced raw bananas or potatoes fried in cold pressed groundnut oil turn out beautifully crisp.

Add a touch of rock salt or black pepper - minimal effort, maximum satisfaction!

How to Make the Most of Cold Pressed Oils During Diwali

Getting the best results from your Diwali snacks with cold pressed oils isn’t just about the ingredients - it’s about technique and care.

Here are a few simple but effective tips:

• Maintain oil temperature: Too hot and the snacks brown quickly; too low and they turn soggy.
  

• Reuse smartly: After frying, strain your oil once cooled and use it again for the same type of snack.
  

• Store right: Keep your cold pressed oils in airtight glass bottles away from sunlight to preserve their flavour.
  

• Experiment freely: Cold pressed oils aren’t just for frying - use them for roasting nuts, greasing moulds, or seasoning savoury mixes.
  

Each small step ensures your Diwali snacks with cold pressed oils come out perfect - crunchy, aromatic, and truly festive.
