Balaji Spices

You can find Balaji Spices at House No. 19 on Lane No. 6. We are located in the 1st Link area, which is very close to Cachar College. It is mostly a residential neighborhood, but we run our spice business directly from this house. We spend a lot of our time cleaning and drying various spices before we pack them up for the customers. The whole house is often filled with the heavy smell of turmeric, ginger, and cumin. It is a small family operation. We don't have any fancy packaging or a big warehouse to store things in. We just use the space we have available to us. We know almost all of the people who live on this lane. They often see us working out in the front or hear the sound of the grinding machines going during the day. It is a lot of repetitive work, but we really don't mind it at all. We have to be very careful with the high humidity in this region because it can ruin the spices quickly if we aren't paying close attention. We don't use any big or fancy words to describe what we do here. We just make spices and sell them to whoever needs them. It is a very local thing. My brother helps out with the heavy lifting, and we usually manage to get all the orders done by the end of the week. It’s a decent way to make a living.
