🌾 Introduction: A Journey into the Heart of Rural Rajasthan
Have you ever wondered what real food tastes like—without chemicals, without shortcuts, and cooked with love on a traditional clay chulha?
In the heart of Nagaur, Rajasthan, lies a small village called Balasar, where food is more than a meal—it’s a celebration of heritage, purity, and sustainability. We visited HiTech Natural Foods, an organic farm and cold-pressed oil plant run by the passionate and down-to-earth Ramu Ram Ji.
Here’s the full experience—from lighting the village chulha, cooking traditional Rajasthani sabzis in cold-pressed til oil, to exploring the eco-conscious farm and its rainwater harvesting system. Oh yes, and the food? Simply unforgettable.
🧄 The Story: Why Cold-Pressed Oil and Satvik Cooking Matter
In today’s fast-paced, urban world, we’ve lost touch with our food’s origin. Most people don’t even know how milk is collected or where wheat comes from. At HiTech Natural Foods, you reconnect with the land.
Here, oils are not extracted in giant factories with chemicals. Instead, they’re made in wooden ghani (cold-press machines), ensuring the nutrients, taste, and aroma remain intact. You can even watch the oil being made—from yellow mustard to sesame and peanut oil.
What’s more? The meals are cooked on a chulha using cow dung cakes and dry wood—an experience that transforms simple vegetables into soulful delicacies.

🥘 Recipe #1: काचर की सब्जी (Wild Rajasthani Gourd Curry)
This isn’t your regular city-style curry. This is Kachar ki sabzi, cooked on a chulha in cold-pressed til oil, using locally grown ingredients.
🌿 Ingredients:
- Cold-pressed sesame oil (तिल्ली का तेल)
- Coarsely crushed garlic and ginger
- Green chili and dry red chili
- Kachar (sliced, seasonal wild gourd)
- HiTech Natural turmeric, coriander powder
- Rock salt (Sendha Namak)
- Optional: Crushed sesame for richness
🍳 Cooking Instructions:
- Heat the Chulha: Use dry wood and cow dung cakes for authentic flavor.
- Heat sesame oil: Just a little is enough.
- Test the oil: Drop 2 cumin seeds. If they don’t foam, oil is ready.
- Sauté spices: Add garlic, ginger, chili, turmeric, and coriander.
- Add Kachar slices: Stir well. No need to add curd—kachar is naturally tangy!
- Cook covered until it becomes soft and aromatic.
- Garnish with crushed sesame and serve with bajra roti or puris.
📝 Tip: Always test oil before cooking to know if it’s fully heated—Ramu Ram Ji’s trick that city folks forget!
🥗 Recipe #2: केर सांगरी कुमटिया – Rajasthan's Most Iconic Mix Veg
Forget five-star hotels. This Ker Sangri Kumtia sabzi, made under a khejri tree, carries the true taste of desert resilience.
🍃 Ingredients:
- Pre-soaked Ker, Sangri, and Kumtia (12 hours, not boiled!)

🌶 Bonus: Fried Mirchi in Til Oil
No Rajasthani meal is complete without spicy, crunchy fried green chilies.
- Heat sesame oil.
- Drop in slit green chilies.
- Fry until blistered and aromatic.
Serve hot alongside bajra roti and sabzi. Finger-licking guaranteed.
🌾 The Organic Edge: Why This Oil is a Game-Changer
Why avoid refined oils?
Refined oils are chemically processed, often heated at high temperatures and mixed with additives. Ramu Ram Ji explains it simply:
“Til oil is food. Refined oil is poison in disguise.”
Each drop of HiTech oil is:
- Cold-pressed in wooden ghani
- Free from iron particles (unlike metal extractors)
- Stored naturally without preservatives
- Tested for aroma, viscosity, and chill (yes, it’s cool to touch!)
They produce mustard, sesame, and groundnut oils—and the difference in taste is night and day.
💧 Sustainability at its Core: Rainwater Harvesting
HiTech Natural Foods doesn’t just preach purity. It practices it.
Their entire plant runs on rain-harvested water, collected in a massive 1-crore liter reservoir, ensuring no dependency on municipal or polluted water sources. Even cooking water is rain-filtered!
