Product Story
This isn’t just oil.
Laal Jhal is the oil — the one you drizzled over leftovers, stole a spoonful of while the paratha was still frying, or added to noodles when no one was watching.
This chili-garlic infused mustard oil is a Fusion Terminal special — packed with the heat and aroma of perfectly toasted red chili flakes, fried garlic, and the punch of pure shorsher tel (mustard oil).
It’s jhal, but not aggressive.
It’s nostalgic — that lingering warmth you remember from street food or nanu’s ranna ghor. The kind of flavor that elevates anything it touches.
A few drops = a new dish.
Fries, dim curry, salad dressing, dal, noodles, ramen, mayonnaise — this thing just won’t quit.
