Sitara Farm
Gondhoraj Lemon - Organically Grown - 500 GM
Fruits
This reclusive member of the lime family and a distant cousin of Kaffir lime, is called Gondhoraj - which means "the king of aromas".
From livening up dal, to complimenting a fish dish, to making a more flavorful version of the shikanji - the gondhoraj is versatile in its uses, and is one of Eastern India's best kept culinary secrets.
A love child of mandarin orange and common lime, Gondhoraj comes with a thick skin, but the drops of ambrosia that you can squeeze out from them draws everyone out to the dining table.
Here are some recipes as well - https://cookpad.com/in/search/gondhoraj
Gondhoraj Chicken, Gondhoraj flavoured icecream, Gondhoraj Pulav, Gondhoraj Bhetki Curry - we are going to be very busy later this week !
Gondhoraj is being brought to you from Samar Shail Natural Farm in Poornea. You can see Himkar Mishra who started off as natural farmer at Samar Shail farm talking about Gondhoraj Lemons in this video
You can expect some differences in the nature of the aroma of these Gondhoraj Lemons, with the Gondhoraj grown in West Bengal and Assam. While the saplings have been brought from Bengal and Assam, the exact aroma characteristic is highly dependent on the soil on which it is grown.
About Farmer:
Shanthi and Ashish Chandola are wildlife photographers and have also been doing pesticide free organic farming for over 15 years
The farm is called ‘Sitara’ after their first pet Boxer dog who started this journey with them. The farm is located in Lokkere village near Bandipur Tiger Reserve and showcases their commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly farming practices.
As the farm abuts the Reserve Forest, they have to be mindful of what crops are grown so as not to attract elephants, wild boar etc. Still they manage a decent diversity of crops such as Erode haldi (turmeric), small ( sambar ) onions, chillies, tur dal, avocado, dragon fruit, marigold, sunflower, chia seeds and condiments like methi ,dhania and mustard seeds. These crops have significant culinary and medicinal value, making them highly sought after.
Farming is all natural with Farm yard manure, bio fertilizers like Jeevamrit, Panchagaavi, and using natural neem based pesticides and Dasagavya etc. This approach helps maintain the health of the crops while minimizing negative impacts on the environment and wildlife in the Bandipur Tiger Reserve.
It's inspiring to see individuals like Shanthi and Ashish Chandola combining their passion for wildlife photography with sustainable farming practices. Their efforts not only contribute to the local economy but also promote organic agriculture and conservation of the surrounding ecosystem.
