Sree Vasavi Condiments

We are located in Basavanagudi at number 15, and you can usually smell what we are making before you even see the sign. The shop is quite small and the kitchen area takes up most of the space in the back where we prepare all the snacks and spices. It gets very hot near the stoves, especially during the festival seasons when everyone wants to buy things at the same time. We have containers of different powders and dried goods lined up on the counters, and it can get a bit chaotic when we are busy trying to pack everything for the customers waiting outside. The floor often has a bit of flour or spice dust on it no matter how many times we sweep it during the day. We’ve been here for a good while and most of the people who come in are regulars from the nearby streets who know exactly what they want. We don't use any fancy packaging; we just put things in simple bags and tie them up. It’s a very hands-on job and our hands usually end up smelling like turmeric or chili by the time we close up for the evening. The shelves are made of simple wood and they are starting to sag a little from the weight of the jars, but they hold up fine. We just keep doing things the way we always have, focusing on the ingredients and the cooking.
