Regarding cooking oil, i am not sure whether they will allow you to carry. But i am sure they will not allow it in the cabin luggage. If you check it in, the packet might burst due to the pressure. I would suggest you to buy the cooking oil there from indian stores. If you want to take the oil from here, go for the 3 ltr plastic cans instead of packets.

Thanks Lakshmi for your prompt answer

Yeah you can take pickles. Usually I and my sis take them from India when we come here even I bought with me when I came here 5 months back.. Oil I have never carried them... But I think it wont be a problem if you have them in sealed containers like idhayam packets, not opened..

Thanks everyone ....
