The tempering of a combination of several different spices using only a little bit of oil initially, and subsequently after tempering, mixing it with additional amount of edible oil to generate a sautéing oil of the right strength, flavors and consistency prior to packing for single-use cooking experience are some of the unique aspects of this present invention. A pre-tempered sautéing oil is useful to mix with cooked rice in order to prepare fried rice in South Indian style (a short cut approach to traditional more elaborate process), or mixed with microwaved or pre-cooked vegetables to conveniently and quickly prepare Indian style curry.
