Our Story: From an M.Sc. Agriculture Degree to a Clean Food Revolution!

Educated to Innovate, Driven to Create... Rutuja Navase

After completing my postgraduate degree in Agriculture (M.Sc. Agri), I had plenty of corporate job opportunities before me. However, sitting in an air-conditioned cabin doing a routine job just didn't speak to my heart. Having studied agriculture, I always had a deep desire to build something of my own—something deeply rooted, authentic, and genuinely beneficial to society.

Driven by this vision, we started a mushroom farming venture two years ago. While selling fresh mushrooms in the local market posed its challenges, we refused to give up. Instead, we adapted, processed them, and began crafting healthy, value-added byproducts like mushroom cookies and papads.

Discovering the Path to a Clean Food Revolution...

Interacting directly with customers at various food exhibitions opened our eyes to a massive shift in what people wanted. Post-pandemic, urban families had become deeply health-conscious. There was a surging demand for natural, jaggery-based alternatives to replace refined sugar.

Having some prior experience in baking, I decided to closely study the commercial biscuits available in the market. What I discovered was eye-opening. Most market cookies are packed with maida (refined flour), palm oil, heavy preservatives, and synthetic chemicals. Truly wholesome, 100% clean cookies were virtually non-existent.

That's when a single thought took root: We need to create a cookie so pure and clean that it stands completely unmatched in the market!

Baking Real Goodness: The Birth of Our Ragi Oats Cookies

We refused to take factory shortcuts. Instead, we brought together a powerful blend of traditional, clean ingredients:

• Nutrient-Rich Ragi (Finger Millet)
• Rolled Oats
• Jaggery Powder
• Pure Cow Ghee
• Whole Wheat Flour

By combining these wholesome staples, we crafted our signature Ragi Oats Cookies—delivering a satisfying, fiber-rich crunch that children and adults love, while packing the natural goodness of millet and the pure nourishment of cow ghee.

An Overwhelming Response & Our Ultimate Reward

From the very first day of our launch, the response from customers has been absolutely phenomenal. For parents, it has quickly become the go-to nutritious school tiffin or evening snack option.

We now receive messages every single day from delighted customers saying, "We have never tasted cookies this delicious, rich, and pure anywhere else before!" Knowing that a mother can confidently hand our cookies to her child is the highest recognition and the truest reward for our hard work.

Empowering Rural Communities

Operating under our parent company, Krushikanya Foods, Agro Queen Foods is proudly based in the remote village of Wagholi, located within the Koregaon taluka of the Satara district. Today, our core production unit is tightly managed by my mother, my brother, and myself. Alongside our family, we have also been able to empower our community by bringing in two local rural women to handle our packaging operations.

For us, this isn't just a business driven by profit. It is a mission to uplift rural women entrepreneurs while delivering unadulterated, nourishing, traditional food straight to your family's table.

Ways to Nourish

1. Traditional Sandgyachi Bhaji (The Classic Curry)

This is the ultimate comfort food on a rainy day.

• The Method: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a kadhai. Add mustard seeds, cumin, and a pinch of asafoetida (hing). Toss in a cup of sandge and fry them on medium heat until they turn a beautiful golden brown and release a roasted garlic-and-lentil aroma. Add water, cover with a lid, and let it simmer until the granules absorb the water and soften.
• To Serve: Garnish with fresh coriander and serve piping hot with rustic Jowar or Bajra Bhakri, a slice of raw onion, and a lemon wedge.

2. Sukhe Sandge (Dry Side Dish)

If you want a quick, crunchy, and spicy accompaniment to your daily meal, make a dry stir-fry.

• The Method: Shallow fry the sandge in oil until they are completely crunchy and cooked through. Toss them with a little extra finely chopped raw onion right at the end to give a beautiful texture contrast.

• To Serve: Pair it as a side dish with simple Varan-Bhat (dal-rice) or Amti to add an instant burst of flavor and crunch.

3. Sandge Amti or Rassa (Thin Spicy Gravy)

A thinner, fiery gravy version that mimics traditional Maharashtrian non-veg curries in flavor profile.

• The Method: Lightly roast the sandge. Prepare a gravy base using a roasted coconut-onion paste (Vatan), add the sandge, and let them cook in the boiling gravy until they swell up.

• To Serve: This spicy rassa tastes heavenly when mixed with hot, steaming steamed rice.

4. Sandge Shengole / Khichdi Twist

• The Method: When making a simple, comforting comforting moong dal khichdi, throw in a handful of lightly fried sandge into the pressure cooker along with the rice and lentils.

• To Serve: The sandge absorb the moisture and become soft, savory flavor-bombs hidden inside the comforting khichdi. Top it with a dollop of pure A2 ghee.

Storage Info

• Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep the cookies away from direct sunlight, moisture, and excess heat to maintain their fresh, oven-baked crispness.
• Transfer to an Airtight Container: Because our cookies are free from artificial preservatives, we highly recommend transferring them to a clean, airtight glass or steel container immediately after opening the pack.
• Keep Away from Strong Odors: Pure cow ghee naturally absorbs surrounding aromas. Store the cookies away from strong spices or pungent foods to preserve their authentic oats and jaggery flavor.
• Handle with Dry Hands: Always ensure your hands are completely dry before reaching into the jar. Even a tiny bit of moisture can make these premium, handcrafted cookies lose their crunch and turn soft.
