Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product is 100% fat, which is expected for a cooking oil. It is fortified with Vitamins A and D2 and provides essential Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. However, the presence of trans fat (up to 2g per 100g) and the antioxidant TBHQ are significant drawbacks. A single 10g serving contains 1.5g of saturated fat and up to 0.2g of trans fat, contributing to daily limits. While useful for cooking, it should be consumed in moderation.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Vegetable and Tofu Stir-fry
Heat 1-2 teaspoons of Dhara oil in a pan. Sauté minced garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add mixed vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots, and stir-fry on high heat. Add cubed tofu, season with soy sauce and a pinch of pepper, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Health Benefits
This dish provides a balanced meal with protein from tofu, vitamins from fresh vegetables, and essential fatty acids from the oil.
Simple Dal Tadka
Prepare your choice of dal (lentil soup). For the tempering (tadka), heat one tablespoon of Dhara oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, dried red chilies, and a pinch of asafoetida (hing). Once the seeds splutter, pour the hot tempering over the cooked dal and serve immediately.
Health Benefits
This classic Indian recipe enhances the flavor of protein-rich lentils while incorporating the benefits of fortified oil in moderation.
Additive Analysis
Contains Tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ, INS 319), an antioxidant approved by FSSAI for use in edible oils within specified limits (max 200 mg/kg). While generally recognized as safe at low levels, its presence makes the product a chemically preserved food item.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'lite n' fine' is ambiguous and potentially misleading, as consumers might interpret it as low-calorie, while the product has the standard high caloric density of any cooking oil (900 kcal/100g). The claims about Omega 3 & 6 content and vitamin fortification are factually supported by the nutritional information. The 'Free from Argemone Oil' claim is a valid safety assurance.
