Gandhi Pansari Di Hatti

Gandhi Pansari Di Hatti is tucked away at Shop No. 1 in Indra Colony, right on Majitha Road here in Amritsar. You’ll find us near Gulmohar Avenue. As a pansari shop, we are a bit different from your regular grocery store. We have all those traditional things like loose herbs, dried roots, and special spice blends that people use for cooking or home remedies. The smell when you walk in is very strong—a mix of turmeric, cloves, and dried ginger. We’ve been operating out of this small shop for years. It’s got that old-fashioned feel where everything is kept in jars or big bags on the floor. It can get a little crowded when more than three people are inside at once, but everyone just waits their turn. We don't have any computer systems for billing; it’s all done by hand on paper pads. Sometimes we run out of certain herbs if the suppliers are late coming from the hills, but we usually have the basics. The regular customers know exactly where everything is, sometimes even better than we do. It’s a practical place for people who still like to buy their spices the old way. We don't bother with fancy packaging or anything like that. We just put the goods in plain paper bags and tie them with string. It’s a simple business, and we like the direct way of dealing with our neighbors in the colony.
