Varalakshmi Papads And Snacks Private Limited

Our workshop is at Door No. 127/1 on Gandhi Road in Hasthampatty. If you know the area, you know it stays pretty busy with people moving around all day. We make papads and different kinds of snacks right here on the premises. It’s a lot of dough rolling and drying. On sunny days, you’ll see the racks out because that’s the best way to get the papads just right. We have a bunch of ladies from the neighborhood who come in to help with the rolling; they are much faster at it than any machine we could buy. The smell of fried snacks usually drifts out onto Gandhi Road, which sometimes brings people in just to see what’s cooking. We don't have a corporate office or a lobby; you basically walk right into the middle of the work. It’s a bit cluttered with flour bags and packing crates, but we know where everything is. We've been making these snacks for a while now, and we just stick to the recipes we know work. It’s a practical business. We aren't trying to change the world; we just want to make sure the papads are crunchy and the snacks taste like they should. It’s hard work, especially when the weather isn't helping with the drying, but we manage to get by and keep the shopkeepers happy. We just keep our heads down and keep the stoves going every single day.
