Vaazhga Valamudan Catering

Our kitchen is located at No 502/1 on I Main Road in Anna Nagar. We’re quite close to the Capri Restaurant, which most people in the neighborhood know. We’re tucked away near the Central Revenue Quarters. It’s a busy spot for us because we’re always prepping for some event or other. The day starts really early, usually before the sun is even up, so we can get the fires going. It’s a lot of chopping vegetables and getting the big pots ready. Vaazhga Valamudan Catering isn't some massive factory; it’s just a group of us who know how to cook for large groups. The smell of spices is always hanging around the building, which probably bothers the neighbors sometimes, but they haven't complained much yet. We have a couple of small vans that we use to transport the food once it’s ready. It’s hard work, especially when the weather in Chennai gets really hot and the kitchen feels like an oven. We don't have a fancy office to show people, just the place where the food gets made. Things can get pretty chaotic when there’s a big order leaving, with everyone shouting and trying to get the crates loaded. But once the vans pull away, it gets quiet again and we start cleaning up for the next day. It’s a simple life centered around the stove and the large kitchen table where we eat our own meals.
