India’s first integrated Oil Palm Processing Unit, established by 3F Oil Palm, has commenced its commercial operations, marking a significant milestone.

Located at Roing in the lower Dibang Valley of Arunachal Pradesh, the factory advances Mission Palm Oil, symbolizing a crucial stride in India’s pursuit of self-sufficiency in edible oils, catalyzed by the National Mission on Edible Oils – Oil Palm (NMEO-OP).

The integrated Oil Palm project includes a cutting-edge oil palm factory consisting of a Palm Oil Processing and Refinery, a zero-discharge effluent plant, a palm waste-based power plant, and additional structures and warehouses for support purposes. This factory marks the first Oil Palm facility in Arunachal Pradesh and India’s initial Oil Palm Factory under NMEO-OP.

On March 9th, Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually inaugurated the 3F Oil Palm Processing Unit in Arunachal Pradesh, symbolizing the beginning of a transformative venture.

Addressing the Viksit Bharat – Viksit Northeast event in Arunachal Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the government’s commitment to Mission Palm Oil, particularly in the Northeast region. He underscored its significance in achieving self-reliance and enhancing farmers’ livelihoods. Expressing gratitude to the farmers in the Northeast for their dedicated involvement in palm cultivation under the Palm Mission initiative, he hailed it as a pathway to a prosperous future.

Talking about the prospects of Palm Oil in India, Sanjay Goenka, Managing Director & CEO, 3F Oil Palm Pvt Limited., stated, “With the ever-increasing demand for edible oils, palm oil has become an important component to ensure food security of the nation. The commencement of operations of country’s first oil palm processing unit by 3F Oil Palm in Arunachal Pradesh is in line with the objective of encouraging domestic oilseeds production. Northeast holds immense potential for palm oil production, and we have already invested INR 100 crores in the region and have planned investments of INR 1100 crores in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh by 2030 creating jobs for 1,700 people. We express gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his vision and emphasis on Mission Palm Oil. 3F Oil Palm is proud to play a pivotal role in this transformative journey of India’s economic development. We thank the State Government of Arunachal Pradesh for its continued support and ensuring ease of doing business in the state.”

In Arunachal Pradesh, 130,000 hectares of land suitable for oil palm cultivation have been identified, with the Northeast region alone encompassing a significant 33% (9.6 lakh hectares) of the government-designated cultivable area. Presently, only 4% of this potential in the Northeast has been utilized for oil palm development. Despite this extensive potential, India faces a significant challenge in achieving self-sufficiency in edible oils, as it currently imports a staggering 96% of its required palm oil. This accounts for 67% of the country’s edible oil import bill, surpassing INR 1 lakh crores.

To tackle this pressing concern, Prime Minister Narendra Modi introduced the visionary initiative NMEO-Oil Palm Policy. This policy aims to diminish reliance on imported edible oils by incentivizing domestic oil palm cultivation, with a special emphasis on the Northeast region. It provides financial, technical, and infrastructural support to foster the growth of the industry.

The state-of-the-art Integrated Oil Palm Processing Unit of 3F Oil Palm is engineered to transform fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) into premium palm oil, boasting an impressive capacity of 10 metric tons per hour. Currently, 2,500 hectares of oil palm are under cultivation, engaging a farmer base of 500 individuals. 3F Oil Palm Pvt Ltd stands out as a trailblazer and leader in Arunachal Pradesh’s oil palm development initiative.

In Arunachal Pradesh, the company stands as a pioneer, being the first to import high-quality hybrid variety seed sprouts from specialized and recognized international firms. Additionally, 3F Oil Palm is leading the way as the first oil palm company to provide agricultural inputs to farmers in the region. These initiatives are expected to significantly enhance farmer yields and streamline the planting process. Leveraging these pioneering efforts and the momentum generated by the Oil Palm Factory, the company aims to expand by 5,000 hectares annually over the next five years in Lower Dibang District, Arunachal Pradesh.

3F Oil Palm has solidified its footing in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh. Presently, the company is focused on crafting a resilient growth strategy tailored for the Northeastern region, specifically targeting Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. The inauguration and initiation of operations represent a pivotal milestone in advancing toward this objective.

Indian delicacy Ras Malai ranked among the world’s best cheese desserts by Taste Atlas

Ras Malai
Ras Malai

Cheese is a fundamental element in many culinary traditions worldwide, offering endless versatility for both savory and sweet dishes. In a recent survey conducted by Taste Atlas, a leading global food ranking platform, the top cheese desserts from around the world were highlighted, with India’s cherished Ras Malai securing the second position.

Poland’s Sernik, a delectable cheesecake crafted with eggs, cheese, and sugar, took the lead at number one. It was closely followed by Ras Malai from West Bengal. Securing third place was Spanakopita from Greece, a flaky phyllo pastry dessert, followed by an assortment of cheesecakes including New York style, Japanese, and Basque. The final four spots were claimed by Hungarian Racoczi Turos, Greek Melopita, German Kasekuchen, and Czech Misa Rezy.

In India, desserts transcend mere post-dinner indulgences; they hold a cherished place within the cuisine. The tradition of incorporating cottage cheese into desserts is widespread across the nation. Ras Malai, derived from ‘ras’ meaning juice and ‘malai’ denoting cream, exemplifies this tradition. This dessert comprises flat cakes made from cottage cheese, soaked in sweetened milk or clotted cream infused with the aromatic essence of cardamom.

The origins of this dessert trace back to the arrival of the Portuguese in India, who introduced cheese-making techniques in regions like Goa and West Bengal. This period marked the rise of cottage cheese, known as chenna, which became a prominent ingredient in many local desserts. Today, a noticeable distinction exists between sweets made with chenna and those without. Portuguese expeditions persisted until Goa was captured by the governor of Portuguese India in 1510. During the Mughal era from 1526 onward, Goa and Bengal developed distinct culinary communities, with each region adopting varying approaches to incorporating new methods and ingredients. Bengal integrated Portuguese cooking techniques while retaining indigenous ingredients, while Goa underwent a different trajectory. The dessert we now recognize as Ras Malai didn’t emerge until the nineteenth century, remaining absent even from the first Bengali cookbook published in 1831.

The concept for this dessert was first conceived in the 1860s by K.C. Das Grandsons in Kolkata. According to food historian KT Achaya, “in 1868, the 22-year-old Nobin Chandra Das of Sutanati created the spongy rasogolla cooked in sugar syrup, and some fifty years later, his son Krishna Chandra Das invented the rasmalai.” Despite various claims regarding the origin of rasogolla, it was K.C. Das who continued his father’s legacy and popularized a sustainable recipe upon establishing his new confectionery shop in 1930. Thus, Ras Malai, a dessert less sweet than others in South Asian cuisine, was finally brought to life.

Today, chenna-based Bengali desserts such as Roshogolla, Sandesh, and Kacha Golla are beloved worldwide. As Rasmalai spread to other regions, it quickly gained popularity and became a favorite for festive gifting, especially around Diwali, when people share in this delicious, cheese-based dessert.

Soma – India’s first Ayurvedic restaurant in Delhi serves tailored meals post health check-ups

The Maharishi Ayurveda Hospital in Shalimar Bagh, Delhi is renowned for its exceptional patient care, offering Panchakarma therapy, meditation rooms, yoga instruction, deluxe accommodations, and on-site medical professionals. Notably, the hospital has gained attention for its in-house restaurant, Soma – The Ayurvedic Kitchen, where meals are tailored to each visitor’s health needs.

From Dumplings to Pav Bhaji, a variety of dishes are served here, all prepared without onion and garlic. Not only do hospital patients frequent this café during their stay, but it also attracts visitors from outside. Many food enthusiasts have made their way to this restaurant to sample its offerings, and none have departed without lauding their experience of enjoying wholesome meals at this establishment. Soma: The Ayurvedic Kitchen is also celebrated as India’s first Ayurvedic Kitchen.

Himanshu, a doctor at Maharishi Ayurveda Hospital, asserts that nearly all the dishes they offer are homemade and freshly prepared. He explains that the establishment of Soma restaurant was aimed at fostering the fusion of Ayurveda and culinary delights. Despite its Ayurvedic focus, many online users question the inclusion of fast-food items like Vada Pao and Dumplings on the menu of this restaurant.

Himanshu explained that their version of Vada Pao differs significantly from the typical street-side or restaurant varieties. He highlighted that their Pao is crafted from Ragi, renowned in Ayurveda for its cooling properties. Moreover, the chefs at Soma Kitchen have enhanced the nutritional value of the Vada by coating the potato balls with Moong Daal.

“Vada Pao at our restaurant is recommended for the people who are suffering from Kapha Dosha,” added Himanshu.

According to Ayurveda, individuals with a predominant Kapha Dosha tend to exhibit a disposition towards laziness and relaxation throughout the day. Reflecting these principles, the restaurant offers dumplings prepared with a mix of wheat, beetroot, and a blend of ricotta, cottage cheese, and spinach. Ayurveda acknowledges beetroot for its detoxifying properties, while spinach contributes to its iron-rich profile and digestive benefits. Numerous visitors have patronized this establishment, sharing their positive dining encounters.

Situated in Shalimar Bagh, Delhi, Soma Ayurvedic Kitchen operates seven days a week. Laxman Srivastava, the director of Maharishi Ayurveda Hospital, asserts that their Ayurvedic establishment, Soma, has garnered enthusiastic feedback from its patrons.

“We are getting repeated customers” he added.
