Shahnawaz Spices

Shahnawaz Spices is located in Village Jafarpur, near the school. We are part of the Niyamatabad Taluka in the Chandauli district. Being in a village means things move a bit slower than they do in the big cities, and we prefer it that way. Our main work is processing and selling spices that are used in every kitchen around here. We have a small unit where we grind the raw materials into powders. The air inside is always dusty with the smell of turmeric and coriander. It’s a family business, so you’ll usually find a few of us working together to get the orders ready. We supply to the local markets in Mughalsarai and also sell directly to people who walk in. Our equipment is basic but it does the job. We don’t have a website or any fancy brochures. Most people know us because we’ve lived in Jafarpur all our lives. We take pride in the fact that our spices are pure and haven't been mixed with anything they shouldn't be. Sometimes the power in the village is a bit unreliable, so we have to plan our grinding around the electricity schedule. It can be frustrating, but we make it work. We aren't trying to be the biggest spice company in India. We just want to provide good products to our neighbors and earn a decent living for our families. It is a lot of work, but we are used to the rhythm of the village.
