Champions Home Made Products

If you come down to No. 26 on the 2nd Cross in Ramaswamy Layout, you’ll find where we run Champions Home Made Products. It isn't a factory or a big warehouse. It is basically a converted part of our house where we prepare everything by hand. We do a lot of traditional things like pickles, masalas, and some snacks that people around here seem to like. The air usually smells like roasted spices or vinegar, depending on what we are making that day. It’s a family thing, so everyone chips in when there is a big batch to get through. We don't have fancy packaging machines, so we end up sealing and labeling a lot of the jars and packets ourselves at the kitchen table. It takes longer that way, but it’s how we have always done it. Sometimes the neighbors come by to buy a jar of something directly from the door. We don't really have a big storefront with lights. It’s just us working in the back. There are days when the kitchen is completely overtaken by huge pots and bags of raw ingredients. We try to keep things simple and just make stuff that tastes like it should. It can be exhausting standing on your feet all day, especially when we have a lot of orders to finish before the weekend market. We just take it one batch at a time and hope the weather stays dry.
