Buy 100% Pure Marasekku Oil: The Traditional Chekku Ennai Your Grandmother Used
Do you remember the oil your grandmother used for cooking? It had a nice smell. The food tasted better. That oil was made using a traditional method called Marasekku, Chekku, or Marachekku – a method that has been used across Tamil Nadu, especially in cities like Madurai, for generations.
Today, let’s talk about this special Chekku ennai in simple words. Whether you’re a student in Madurai, a homemaker, or anyone who cares about good food, this guide is for you.

What is Marasekku Oil / Chekku Oil?
Imagine crushing peanuts or sesame seeds between two heavy stones. The oil comes out slowly, drop by drop. No fire. No chemicals. Just natural crushing. That’s Marasekku oil or Chekku oil.
“Marasekku” means wooden press in Tamil. “Chekku” means the same thing. It’s also called “Chekku ennai” (chekku oil) or “Marachekku ennai” (Marachekku oil).
This is the old way of making oil. Your great-grandparents used this method. It’s slow but the traditional way of extraction.
How is Regular Oil Different from Marasekku Oil?
Regular Oil (Refined Oil):
- Made in big factories
- Uses very high heat (like a pressure cooker on maximum)
- Uses chemicals to extract more oil quickly
- Oil comes out fast but processing changes nutrients
- No smell, no taste
- Looks very clear like water
Marasekku Oil (Chekku Oil):
- Made in traditional wooden or stone press
- No heat used (room temperature)
- No chemicals added
- Takes time and retains natural properties
- Has natural smell and taste
- May look slightly thick
Think of it like this: Refined oil is like instant noodles – quick and processed. Marasekku oil is like your mother’s homemade food – takes time but made naturally.
Why Heat Changes Oil
When you heat oil too much while making it, things change:
- Nutrients are affected – Just like when you overcook vegetables, they lose nutrients. Similar happens with oil.
- Natural properties change – Oil has natural compounds. High heat affects them.
- Chemical structure changes – Very high heat can alter the oil’s natural composition.
Marasekku method doesn’t use heat. So the oil stays in its natural form.
What Does Marasekku Oil Offer?
Nutritional Value:
- Contains natural vitamins (A, E, K)
- Has fatty acids in natural form
- Retains natural antioxidants
- Contains minerals from the seeds
For Your Cooking:
- Food tastes better
- Natural aroma comes in your dishes
- Your dal, sambar, curry – everything tastes like old days
- Authentic traditional taste
Traditional Beliefs: Our grandparents traditionally used this oil and believed it supported overall wellness. Many people find it easier to digest compared to heavily processed oils.

Your Questions Answered
Q It costs more than regular oil. Why?”
Yes, it costs more. Here’s why:
- Takes longer to make (3-4 hours vs 30 minutes)
- Needs good quality seeds
- Makes less oil from same amount of seeds
- No mixing with cheaper oils
- Pure and unprocessed
But think about this: You use less oil because it’s more flavorful. You’re choosing quality over quantity. You’re investing in traditional, natural food.
Q How long will it last?”
- Keep it in a tight bottle
- Store in a cool, dark place (not near the stove)
- Generally lasts 6-12 months
- Best to buy what you can use in 3-4 months for freshness
Q Can I fry in this oil?”
Yes! This is a big confusion. People think cold-pressed means you can’t heat it. Not true!
Your grandmother deep-fried vadai, bajji, murukku in this oil. You can use it for frying. The oil handles cooking heat well. “Cold-pressed” only means how we make it, not how you use it.
Q How do I know if it’s real or fake?”
Real Marasekku oil:
- ✅ Has natural smell (smells like the seed)
- ✅ Slightly thick (not watery)
- ✅ May have tiny particles at bottom (natural sediment)
- ✅ Tastes like the seed
- ✅ Color may be little dark
Fake or refined oil:
- ❌ No smell
- ❌ Very clear like water
- ❌ Suspiciously cheap price
- ❌ No taste
- ❌ No seller information
My mother-in-law says old method is old-fashioned. Is that true?”
Traditional doesn’t mean outdated. Our ancestors used this oil for generations.
Today, many people are going back to traditional foods. Why? Because they’re less processed and more natural. Traditional methods don’t add chemicals or use extreme temperatures.
It’s not old-fashioned. It’s time-tested and natural.
The Truth About Oil Industry (Things They Don’t Tell You)
Most companies won’t tell you their complete process. Here’s what typically happens:
What Happens in Industrial Processing:
- They heat oil to very high temperature (around 450°F)
- They may use chemical solvents for extraction
- They bleach and deodorize the oil
- They process it to remove natural color and smell
Then They:
- Make it look clear
- Remove natural aroma
- Package and sell
- Label it various ways
What Happens in Marasekku Method:
- Clean the seeds
- Put in wooden press
- Oil comes out naturally
- Filter through clean cloth
- Pour in bottle
- Send to you
Which method sounds more natural? Which one is closer to how food should be made?
