Ranchi — Heritage and Identity
Ranchi is the capital of Jharkhand, carved out of Bihar in 2000 to give voice to the Adivasi heartland. Surrounded by waterfalls — Hundru, Dassam, Jonha — the city sits on the Chota Nagpur Plateau and carries the cultural legacy of the Munda, Oraon, and Ho tribes alongside a growing industrial and educational identity.
Ranchi's food reflects its tribal and North Indian heritage. Litti chokha, thekua, and rugra (wild mushroom) curry are local staples. Mustard oil is the dominant cooking fat — used in everything from dal to fish curries brought in from the Subarnarekha river. The cuisine is earthy, robust, and deeply tied to seasonal produce.
Ranchi's dishes that use mustard oil
Mustard oil is the backbone of Ranchi's kitchen. Cold-press kachi ghani sarson ka tel gives the city's litti chokha its authentic pungency and its fish curries their characteristic depth — no other oil replicates this.
Known locally as: Sarson tel
Why cold pressed — not refined
No heat, no chemicals. The oil retains its natural nutrients, aroma, and flavour exactly as nature intended.
Refined oil uses hexane to extract every last drop. Cold press uses only mechanical pressure — nothing else touches the oil.
Omega fatty acids, vitamin E, antioxidants, and natural phytochemicals — all destroyed by refining, all preserved by cold press.

What nutrition experts say about cold pressed oils
"Cold pressed mustard oil retains its natural allyl isothiocyanate and glucosinolates, which are potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory compounds. Refining destroys these entirely. For Indian cooking, kachi ghani mustard oil is nutritionally superior to any refined alternative."

On cold pressed vs refined edible oils in Indian diets
"Traditional Indian cooking with kachi ghani sarson ka tel has been validated by modern nutritional science. The omega-3 to omega-6 ratio in cold pressed mustard oil is among the most favourable of any cooking oil — better than sunflower, palm, or refined vegetable oil blends."
Dr. Rupali Datta

On traditional Indian cooking oils and modern nutritional science
ICMR Dietary Guidelines for Indians (2024): The Indian Council of Medical Research recommends using traditional cold pressed oils (kachi ghani) as part of a balanced Indian diet. The guidelines specifically note that cold pressed mustard oil, sesame oil, and groundnut oil retain their natural fatty acid profiles and micronutrients, making them preferable to refined and hydrogenated alternatives.
