Shree Food Product

Our small facility is at No.-1 in Paveni Murugan Nagar, located in the Poodhampur area of Rittujajalam. It is a quieter neighborhood compared to the middle of the city. We spend our time making various food products here. It involves a lot of manual labor, standing over large pans and stoves that stay hot for hours. The air around the shop usually smells like roasted grains or spices, which the neighbors seem to like. We started this business in a very small way and have just kept it going year after year. The building itself is very basic. We have a large open area for the cooking and a smaller section where we pack everything into bags by hand. It is a family-run operation, with my cousins and some of the local neighbors helping out. We do not use big automated machines, so everything is done the old-fashioned way. Our day starts at six in the morning because we want to get the main batches done before the sun makes the room too hot to work in. We sweep the floors multiple times a day to keep things as clean as possible. Most of what we make goes to the small shops around Rittujajalam. Sometimes people walk in off the street to buy a little bit for their own kitchen. We just fill a bag and wish them well. It is a simple, practical way to make a living. The rain sometimes leaks through the old roof, but we just move the sacks and keep working.
